Jailed for life with a minimum 35-year sentence
Victorino Chua, 49, was jailed for life for murder after poisoning patients by injecting insulin into saline bags.
A Filipino male nurse was jailed for life with a minimum of
35 years on Tuesday for poisoning 21 patients with insulin at a British
hospital, two of whom died.
Victorino Chua, 49, injected insulin into saline bags, ampoules and other healthcare products while working on two wards at Stepping Hill Hospital, near Manchester in northwest England, in June and July 2011.
When other nurses unwittingly used the products, the mostly elderly patients on the ward suffered sudden illness as they overdosed on insulin.
Chua was found guilty of murdering two of the patients, Tracey Arden, 44, and Derek Weaver, 83, and also causing grievous bodily harm to a third, Grant Misell, 41, who was left brain damaged.
Sentencing Chua at Manchester Crown Court, judge Peter Openshaw said: "He has committed a dreadful crime and he must now pay the price."
Detectives had described the father of two as a narcissistic psychopath and said he had shown a complete lack of remorse for his crimes.
Chua described himself in a letter found at his home as "an angel turned into an evil person", writing that "there's a devil in me".
