SYDNEY - A nurse at an Australian nursing home who gave lethal insulin injections to two elderly residents who had complained about her was sentenced on Friday to 36 years in prison, the second such case in less than a week.

Megan Haines, 49, was sentenced in the New South Wales state Supreme Court for murdering Marie Darragh, 82, and Isabella Spencer, 77, at St. Andrew's Village at Ballina in May 2014. She must serve at least 27 years before she is eligible for parole.

The sentencing comes after a staff member at another New South Wales nursing home was sentenced this week to 40 years in prison for murdering two elderly residents and attempting to murder a third with insulin injections.

That article doesn't mention the dose you have to use. Wonder if it's on Wiki...
 
Just don't anybody emigrate to NSW, it doesn't seem too safe.

Aye, Northerner I shouldn't be encouraging murder, it sort of strays from DUKs mission. And one shouldn't make fun of a tragedy. Feel free to delete😳

I suspect northerner recognises mischief over malice! :D

Just looking at your avatar photo Mike and you really are missing a Santa hat. Would look a treat for this time of the year! 😛
 
I'll see what I can do. Don't possess one, but maybe Spar will get some in. How do you fancy a Santa mankini?
 
It is an interesting question though, how much you'd have to inject.
 
Is Ralph going to change his sig to "I'm gonna wreck it!"? 😱:D
 
Yes it would be interesting to know the dose; it might just come in useful one day
 
Now look what I've gone and done:(. Next news, Dignitas will be posting the question.
 
LOL

I'd be mighty surprised if there were any people affected by diabetes, who hadn't discussed that with their friends and family - in a spirit of just wondering, obviously - rather than with any OTHER intent!

Of course, thinking about it (which I never have, a lot) providing your liver's still alive and kicking, it might be harder than it at first appears from the number of murder cases involving this, that you hear about in the news over the years. The murderer couldn't possibly know what the actual outcome might be, in the event.

There must be much more definite ways of killing a person, if a person's determined to do it, I'm sure!
