Nurse ‘killed 300 patients’. Why did no one stop him?

德国护士“杀害300名病人”，为什么没人阻止?

OLDENBURG (GERMANY): The new nurse arrived at the ICU of Delmenhorst hospital with a letter of reference, describing him as someone who worked “independently and conscientiously”. In a crisis, it said, he reacted “with consideration” and was “technically correct”.

奥尔登堡(德国): 这位护士曾带着一封推荐信来到德尔曼霍斯特某医院的ICU病房，信上称他是一个“独立、尽责”的人。

It gave no indication that officials at his former hospital in Oldenburg had grown suspicious about the number of deaths while the nurse, Niels Hogel, was on duty. Or that they had barred him from contact with patients and effectively pushed him out. Before long, similar suspicions arose at Delmenhorst. Within four months, a patient, Brigitte A, died under his care. Others, Hans S, Christoph K and Josef Z, followed.

这位护士尼尔斯·霍格尔以前在奥尔登堡的医院工作，医院领导对其值班时的死亡人数产生了怀疑。医院禁止他与病人接触，实际上等于把他赶了出去。不久，德尔曼霍斯特的医院也产生了类似的怀疑，不到四个月，病人布丽奇特在他的照料下去世了, 汉斯·S、克里斯托弗·K和约瑟夫·Z相继去世。

Today, Hogel, 42, is considered the most prolific serial killer in the history of peacetime Germany, and perhaps in the world. Officials suspect that as many as 300 patients may have died by his hand over five years starting in 2000.

42岁的霍格尔被认为是德国和平时期，或许是全世界杀人最多的连环杀手。官员们怀疑，从2000年开始的五年内，可能有多达300名患者死于其手。

Still, it took more than a decade for a full investigation by the authorities, who exhumed more than 130 bodies in Germany, Poland and Turkey as they struggled to define the scope of his crimes. Hogel has admitted to killing 43 people, has not ruled out killing 52 others and denied killing five.

不过，当局花了10多年时间才展开全面调查。在德国、波兰和土耳其，当局在努力界定他的罪行时，掘出了130多具尸体。霍格尔承认杀害了43人，不排除杀害其他52人，并否认杀害其中某5个人。

The number of killings and the amount of time it took for suspicions surrounding his actions to come to light have raised uncomfortable questions for Germany, including whether the same deference to hierarchy and predilection for procedure that once facilitated Nazi-era crimes allowed Hogel to kill uninterrupted for so long.

杀人数目和曝光其罪行所花的时间，给德国造成了令人不安。对等级制度的尊从和对程序的偏执，曾一度助长了纳粹时期的罪行，但是否也是这些让霍格尔能够在如此长时期内不断杀人。

“If it is possible that in Germany more than 300 deaths over 15 years can be swept under the carpet, what else is possible?” said Christian Marbach, whose grandfather was a victim of Hogel.

克里斯蒂安·马尔巴赫的祖父也死于霍格尔之手，他说：“如果15年里杀害300多人的罪行都能被掩盖，那在德国还有什么是不可能的呢?”

According to Frank Lauxtermann, the only ex-colleague who testified openly about working alongside Hogel, “A culture of looking away and kee your head down” ultimately shielded the suspect. Hogel is serving a life sentence for murdering two patients and playing a role in the killing of four others. The current trial is his third since 2006. This time, he faces charges of killing 100 more patients.

弗兰克·劳克斯特曼是与霍格尔共事的前同事，也是唯一一位公开作证的。据他说，“低调的作风”掩护了嫌疑人。

this killer is a mental patient!! what can you do with mentals? just put them in permanent confinement!! however how he managed to kill so many without arising suspicion needs to be probed and corrective measures should be taken to avoid similar fatalities.

这个杀手是个精神病!! 判终身监禁!!

然而，他是如何在没有引起怀疑的情况下杀死这么多人的？需要彻底调查，并应采取纠正措施，以避免发生类似案件。

Capital punishment has been abolished in Germany. Therefore he will not be hanged for sure even after committing so many murders.

德国已经废除了死刑。所以，即使杀了那么多人，他也不一定会被绞死。

What surprises me most in this case - How could he continue killing undetected for so long? There must have been other nurses and doctors around him. Everybody looked the other way while he continued killing. Really horrible. He is absolutely a monster.

最让我惊讶的是——他怎么能在这么长时间内连续杀人而不被发现?他周围一定还有其他护士和医生。杀人时，其他人都没发现，真可怕。他绝对是个怪物。
