A court in Germany has sentenced a 57-year-old man to life imprisonment for poisoning his colleagues’ sandwiches.
The judge said the crimes were as serious as murder, according to German news agency DPA.
Two victims have been left with serious kidney damage and a third is now in a vegetative state after falling into a coma, RTL reported.
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.
