Two male nurses charged with 16 'mercy killings'... even though most of the patients were NOT terminally ill

Murder charges were filed against two male nurses Sunday and a female nurse was charged with covering up a crime in a case involving more than a dozen deaths at two Uruguayan hospitals, judicial officials said.

The judge overseeing the case said there was no indication the two male nurses, aged 39 and 46, were acting together.

Judge Rolando Vomero said after a court hearing that the accused admitted to causing a total of 16 deaths of patients, but added that the investigation continued and the number was not final.
