Activities

Between 2004 and 2009 Nykopp-Koski worked at a range of hospitals, care homes and patients' homes. There she killed five elderly patients using sedatives and opiates. She was apprehended in March 2009.[1]
Nykopp-Koski was tried in Helsinki District Court in December 2010 and pleaded not-guilty, though the court convicted her. She was sentenced to life in prison (minimum of 12 years before likely pardon). Despite having a personality disorder she was deemed culpable for her actions.[1] The sentence was upheld by Helsinki Court of Appeals in March 2012. [2] Supreme Court of Finland dismissed her leave to appeal in November 2012. [3]

Why did she murder them? They would have died in a few years anyways...

She was the euthanasia fairy. Putting these ol' timers out of their misery.

Maybe its a good thing that she's dead. Finland dished out a life sentence, but... would have done minimum of 12 years before likely pardon (what a slap in the face for the families of victims) but I digress, the witch is dead.
