Investigators found syringe with morphine-infused milk in nurse’s locker, but quick intervention meant infants lived.
Authorities in southwestern Germany arrested an intensive care nurse on Wednesday, suspecting that she had attempted to kill five newborn babies in her charge with morphine, police in the city of Ulm said.
The babies, at least some of them prematurely born, fell simultaneously ill in the early hours of December 20, suffering from shortness of breath.
Thanks to prompt medical intervention, all recovered and are not expected to face long-term harm.
