A lunchtime killer?
The deaths of 21 people are suspected to have been caused by workplace poisoning
Twenty-one deaths over 18 years, all possibly due to the actions of one man. If substantiated, this nearly score-long unfettered run of killing is shocking – as is the alleged location of the crimes. The suspect, reported as Klaus O, is not alleged to have hunted his victims down by prowling city streets or haunts, nor breaking into the victims’ homes; instead, the deaths occurred at work. All the decedents and the suspect worked at the same plant of ARI-Armaturen, in the northwest German town of Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock.
