Police investigation into hospital serial killings could have started earlier

A police investigation into a number of mysterious hospital deaths between May and September was launched three weeks later than it should have been. A spokesperson for the East Bohemian Police said on Tuesday that the officer responsible for distributing tasks failed to recognise the gravity of the hospital's criminal complaint. A former nurse at the hospital has since confessed to murdering eight patients and attempting to kill several more with the blood-thinning drug heparin.
