A serial killer nurse who liked to kill people left 4 people dead by injecting air into their bloodstream.
William Davis could face Texas’ death penalty after it was found that they had killed people that were recovering from heart surgeries.
Christ Gatewood, a prosecutor, said that Davis likes to kill people and told the court that he was a serial killer that worked in the hospital.
According to reports, the murder spree ran from June 2017 and January 2018.
An official investigation was launched after John Lafferty, Ronald Clark, Christopher Greenway, and Joseph Kalina suffered unexplained neurological problems and died.
The jury was told that Davis of Hallsville had intentionally killed his victims by injecting air into their arterial lines.
A report by the KLTV said that Prosecutor Christ Gatewood told the court:
There is a motive here for Will Davis. It’s simple. He likes to kill people. He enjoyed going into the rooms and injecting them with air. If you watch the video on Kalina, he set at the end of the hall and he watched those monitors and he waited. That’s because he liked it.
Smith County District Attorney Jacob Putman released a statement about the incident.
They said:
He killed these four patients. He did it on purpose. He did it by injecting air into their arterial lines. There’s no other way.
Phillip Hayes, defending, said that Davis had no reason to kill the 4 people.
While explaining to the court, Hayes said:
Wife, two kids, what would be the motive? Because none of these things add up. Are you trying to kill people or are you trying to save people because here we’re doing both.
After the guilty verdict, he will get a sentence, which could be life in prison or even the death penalty.
David was a nurse at the Christus Trinity Mother Frances Louis and Peaches Owen Heart Hospital in Tyler.
