A nurse in Germany has been arrested on suspicion of poisoning five newborn babies with morphine, officials said Thursday, adding that the infants had survived.

The woman was taken into custody on Wednesday after investigators found an oral syringe containing breast milk mixed with morphine in her locker at Ulm University Hospital in southern Germany.

But this was ruled out after urine tests came back negative on January 16, said the hospital’s pediatrics chief, doctor Klaus-Michael Debatin. A search of the lockers of six employees on duty around the time of the incident turned up the syringe “filled with breast milk”, said prosecutor Lehr.It is common for premature and newborn babies who are too weak to drink from a bottle to be fed orally through a syringe.

The woman, only described as “young”, has spoken to investigators in the presence of her lawyer but rejects the accusations against her.“We have to assume that a crime was committed here,” Debatin said. “We can very much understand the worries and fears of the affected parents,” he said. “Our employees too are shaken.”
