Christine Malevre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christine Malèvre (born 1970) is a French serial killer. A former nurse, in 1998 she was arrested on suspicion of having ended the lives of as many as 30 patients. She confessed to some of the murders, but claimed she had done so at the request of the terminally ill patients. France, however, does not recognize a "right to die", and Malevre eventually recanted most of her confessions. The families of several of her victims strongly denied that their relatives had expressed any will to die, much less asked to Malèvre to put them out of their misery. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2003, for the murders of six patients.
