• According to Salus, the review has produced no new evidence indicating an immediate employer-related connection to the December 20, 2024 attack that would warrant referral to investigators.
• The Magdeburg prosecutor confirms an investigation into suspected negligent killing linked to a patient’s April 2024 death during the doctor’s Bernburg tenure, with an expert assessment planned after an autopsy and initial inquiry led to a concrete suspicion.
• Separately, the defendant is charged with six murders and 338 attempted murders over the Christmas market attack that killed six and injured more than 300, with trial preparations in Magdeburg underway.
