14 DAY TRIAL // Roger Dean, a nurse who many first thought was a hero for the way he acted when a nursing home in Sydney caught fire, has pled guilty to killing 11 people. He was the one who set the fire.
Above is a video report from 7 News.
Dean was working as a registered nurse at the time of the fire, studying to become a lawyer. Police learned that he set 2 different fires to make sure the building would be engulfed in flames and firefighters wouldn’t be able to put it out in time.
Eleven elderly people lost their lives that night.
Speaking to the press after the fire, Dean claimed that he had tried really hard to save as many people as possible, painting himself in a very favorable light.
Victims’ relatives observed in court, as he pled guilty, that he showed no emotion when he admitted to his heinous crime.
