Where is Charles Cullen now?

Serial killer Charles Cullen started murdering when he was working at Saint Barnabas in New Jersey, administering an IV drip with a fatal drug and a large dose of insulin to a second.

He went on to work at Warren Hospital, Phillipsburg, and began using the drug digoxin, usually used to treat irregular heartbeats, to kill three elderly women.

Cullen then moved to work at various hospitals conducting the same method of killing.

While there were issues raised with the nurse, there was no cross-referencing database of medical staff that moved between hospitals, proving what he was doing.

During the trial, Cullen’s lawyer argued that his client believed his victims were terminally ill and it was dehumanising to prolong people’s lives by “artificial means”, according to NBC News.

In addition to this, New York Magazine claimed that his killings began as a way of escaping a stressful personal life.

There were reports that he had a “miserable” childhood and later claimed he made a suicide attempt for the first time, aged nine.

His dad died when he was just seven months old and his mum died in a car crash when he was 17.
