This year, the case of Christina Aistrup Hansen came to the fore again with the release of “The Nurse” on Netflix. The mini-series about the murderer nurse once again aroused curiosity about the incident.
If you are ready; Let’s take a look at why Christina, who was wandering around the hospital corridors like a Grim Reaper, did such a thing, how she was caught and where she is now.
From the outside, she drew a successful nurse profile.
Christina Aistrup Hansen was working as a night nurse at Nykøbing Falster Hospital in Denmark in 2016. On the outside, she, she was a successful nurse who knew how to respond in an emergency. The problem, however, was that he created emergencies himself.
The killer nurse was giving patients high doses of morphine and diazepam at night. When patients came face to face with death under the influence of substances, he saved them. After a while, his colleague Pernille Kurzmann Larsen began to suspect this.
Many people working at the hospital were suspicious, but no one had told each other.
Pernille Kurzmann Larsen opened up her suspicions to other staff at the hospital, and many admitted that they had suspected such a thing for a long time but could not express it.
Kurzmann, who had been on the night shift to observe her and checking the meds, was now certain. Her boyfriend, who works in the same department, Dr. With the help of Niels Lunden, they informed the police, that everything would be resolved from this point on.
He was eventually arrested due to the deaths of three patients.
The night nurse was arrested for the deaths of 3 patients, a 72-year-old man who died in 2012, an 86-year-old woman who died on February 28, 2015, and another 66-year-old man who died on the same day. High doses of morphine and diazepam were found in their bodies, and it was Christina who was working the night shift the day they all died.
The nurse was famous as the “Demon of Death”.
The trial became one of the most important cases in the Danish media. The nurse became famous in Denmark as the “Demon of Death”. She was sentenced to life in prison for three murders and one attempted murder in 2016.
But in 2017 the sentence was changed to 12 years and the charge was “attempted murder”. The rationale was that morphine and diazepam could not be proven to be a direct cause of death.
One of the biggest reasons behind all these murders was personality disorder, which can be associated with “excessive attention seeking”.
Today, as of 2023, Christina Aistrup Hansen continues to serve her sentence in a Danish prison. She has been diagnosed with “histrionic personality disorder”, a personality disorder characterized by “excessive attention seeking” behaviors, she.
Because right after the nurse gave the patients a high dose of medicine, she was giving other medicine to save them. He was trying to make himself a kind of hero and the center of attention. However, in three of his cases he was unable to do so, causing their deaths.
The Death Demon’s punishment will expire in 2028.
Christina, who will continue her life as a free woman in 2018, will never return to the profession of nurse. His colleague Kruzmann, who reported him, still continues to work at the same hospital.
