Monk suspected of involvement in 37 deaths, 60 years ago

The public prosecution department believes the death of 37 handicapped youths at a Catholic residential home between 1952 and 1954 may be the result of criminal actions by a single monk, the organisation said in a statement on Thursday. Brother Andreas was the sole carer of the youths who died in suspicious circumstances, the public prosecutor said, following a inquiry into events at the home. In addition, local church officials were informed about the suspicions in 1959 but did nothing, the department said. Labour inspectors, who alerted the church authorities, also failed to report their findings to the police, the department said.
