Man who poisoned colleagues' sandwiches jailed for life

Klaus O refused to speak during his trial and the motive for his actions is still unclear.

However, a mental health expert for the prison service told the court that the defendant wanted to see how the poison would affect his colleagues, like a scientist performing tests on a rabbit, according to RTL.

In May 2018, a security camera captured Klaus O opening a co-worker's lunchbox and putting a substance on the sandwich inside, the police said in a statement in June last year.

A small bottle of a "powdery substance" was found in the suspect's bag after he was taken into custody, police said.

The owner of the sandwich had raised the alarm earlier, after discovering an unknown substance smeared on his lunch. He informed his company's management, which in turn notified police.

Testing by the regional criminal office of North Rhine-Westphalia indicated the substance on the bread was toxic lead acetate, and there was enough to cause severe organ damage, authorities said.

Authorities broadened the investigation after two other cases of illness at the company in recent years were discovered.

Maybe the punishment should be that they do some experiments on him. Like see how much stuff they can fit up his rectum.

In case anyone is wondering this occurred in.....

Authorities are investigating the deaths of 21 people at a
company in Germany after an employee was allegedly caught
poisoning a colleague’s lunch.

A 56-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder at a
company in the northwestern town of Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock,

I remember years ago, after many complaints of earthy tasting coffee, a maintenance man was caught peeing into the coffee machine.
