Spanish orderly admits to kiling 11 retirement home residents
An orderly at a Spanish retirement home has admitted killing 11 residents, reports say.ccJoan Vila, 45, said he poisoned them with bleach, an overdose of insulin or drugs at the home in the north-eastern town of Olot, Spanish media reported. He had confessed to killing three residents “to end their suffering” when he was arrested in October. He then told a judge on Tuesday that he had killed another eight, the Spanish news agency Efe reported. The confession came 10 days after a judge ordered the eight bodies exhumed as part of an investigation into suspicious deaths at the La Caritat home. Doctors first alerted police after they found burns to the mouth and throat of an 85-year-old woman who died last month. Mr Vila then confessed he had killed the woman and two others by forcing them to drink bleach. In his latest confession Mr Vila told a judge he killed another six with a mix of drugs and two from an overdose of insulin, Efe reported.
