| EVIL |
AN evil nurse who trawled internet chat rooms and encouraged depressed people to kill themselves has been found guilty of aiding suicides but may see little or no jail time.
William Melchert-Dinkel posed as a suicidal female nurse to win his victims' trust, then entered into false suicide pacts with them, offering detailed instructions on how they could take their own lives. Prosecutor's said the 48-year-old was obsessed with suicide and hanging and sought out potential victims online.
Melchert-Dinkel, a former nurse from Fairbault, told police he did it for the "thrill of the chase."
