“Prosecutors: ”We are looking at a person or persons””
“MÖLNDAL. Police are investigating three cases in which people in a retirement home were brought to hospital with very low blood sugar. One of them, a man, died.”
“All three lived on the same title and is believed to have been medicine that they shouldn’t have.”

Therefore, I contacted the police, ” says Jerker Persson, senior physician at Sahlgrenska university hospital in Mölndal, sweden.”

” It is a fairly complicated investigation.”
“Why suspect you of murder and attempted murder, instead of some form of negligence?”
“– Had it been in a case had been able to imagine it. But now, if it is in the three cases, it is unlikely that it would happen just the same title. That is why we have set the headings, but it can be changed during the course of the study. “said prosecutor Stina Lindqvist.”
“”the Neighbors had to help the mother””
“Aftonbladet has spoken with two people whose relatives live in the current home for the elderly in sweden. None of them had any knowledge of the cases before the news briserade in the weekend.”

“the Woman, whose mother lived at the home for the elderly for over five years, believes that the quality declined when a private company in the healthcare sector took over the property. “

“the Inspection of health and social care, Ivo, found deficiencies in the handling of drugs during the period that the private health care company ran the home for the elderly.”

“When the first events occurred in the selected health care company to not go out with information, and neither has the municipality done.”
“– We have not gone out with any information, in any direction, this is still just the incidents. We do not know if there is anyone who is behind and in this situation we have chosen not to inform, not to worry, ” says Monica Holmgren.”
“Because there is no defined suspect so have no staff nor taken out of service. The executive also says that she will await the results from the Rättsmedicinalverkets autopsy of man who died in January.”
“in Order to avoid new incidents are handled insulin nowadays as controlled drugs on the property, counting in medicine, and nurses may delegate to nursing assistants to share out the insulin.”

“– I shall not say that I fear for my mother’s sake, I have järnkoll on her. But it is clear that you are worried and want information as soon as possible. And one can wonder that it has taken a very long time. Why was it here now? I had no idea, and I’m still here a couple of times a week, ” says the woman.”
“She has thought of the idea to move his mother from the home for the elderly, but come to the conclusion that it would not lead anywhere.”
“– This is so scary, it is clear you wonder if it is the place to be. But on the other hand, would this person be able to work at any other point in the day. It will not be quiet until you get to the bottom of this, and finds out what and who is the cause.”
