September 26, 1965 - Joan Vila i Dilmé

Working as a nursing assistant at a care facility in Olot, Vila i Dilmé carried out a series of killings targeting the most vulnerable residents — elderly patients in their final years of life, some nearly a century old. The crimes unfolded over roughly fourteen months before he was apprehended, and the trust inherent in a caregiving role made the breach all the more complete. His 2014 conviction by the Supreme Court of Spain resulted in a sentence of over 127 years.
