Colleague poisoning accusations unveiled
Trainee Emergency Responder on Trial for Alleged Poisoning Incident
A trainee emergency responder with the German Red Cross (DRK) is standing trial at the Heilbronn Regional Court, accused of intentionally endangering her colleagues during an incident that took place during her training in Vaihingen an der Enz, district of Ludwigsburg.
The defendant, born in 2000, has been in custody since January. She denies the charges against her, which include five counts of endangering her colleagues and attempted murder.
According to the prosecution, the woman's motive for the alleged actions was personal conflicts and dissatisfaction with the training process. It is claimed that she laced the drinks of her colleagues with prescription medication during active emergency calls, resulting in three of her colleagues suffering significant health issues. One paramedic's life was reportedly in danger due to the alleged poisoning.
The alleged incident took place between October 2023 and April 2024. A DRK emergency responder collapsed during an active emergency call and required treatment, with acute danger to life in one case.
The trial began today, with the location of the trial being the Heilbronn Regional Court. The defendant faces serious charges and could potentially face a lengthy prison sentence if found guilty.
