Anesthesiologist Faces Murder Charges After Child's Death in Dental Clinic
The prosecution seeks a life sentence for the doctor accused of administering contaminated anesthetic leading to a child's fatal sepsis.
- The anesthesiologist is accused of injecting contaminated anesthetic into four children, resulting in the death of a four-year-old girl in a Kronberg dental practice.
- The prosecution argues the doctor committed murder by omission and attempted murder of three other children by not seeking timely medical intervention.
- The doctor allegedly ignored severe hygiene failures and advised against hospitalizing critically ill children to conceal his actions.
- The accused is already convicted of negligent homicide from a previous case and has agreed to compensate the deceased child's family.
- A verdict in the current trial is expected next Friday, with the prosecution also seeking a lifetime professional ban for the doctor.
