An angel of mercy or angel of death is a type of criminal offender (often a type of serial killer) who is usually employed as a caregiver and intentionally harms or kills people under their care. The angel of mercy is often in a position of power and may decide the victim would be better off if they no longer suffered from whatever severe illness is plaguing them. This person then uses their knowledge to kill the victim. In some cases, as time goes on, this behavior escalates to encompass the healthy and the easily treated.

  • ヘルスケア・シリアルキラー(Healthcare Serial Killer, HSK、仮訳: 医療連続殺人犯)とは、医療の現場において、看護師や医師でありながら患者達を故意に殺傷するシリアルキラーの一種である。「近年顕著になっている現象であるにもかかわらず、理解が進んでいない分野」とされ、殺傷の手段として医療知識を用い、病院という特性から犯行が長期間発覚せずに犠牲者数も桁違いに増える傾向がある。 (ja)
  • Angelo della morte (detto anche angelo della misericordia) è un termine utilizzato in criminologia per indicare una categoria di serial killer atipici piuttosto rara, che agiscono nell'ambiente medico e/o ospedaliero. Questa definizione deriva dal soprannome con il quale era tristemente noto il medico nazista Josef Mengele, famoso per la sua freddezza e per il potere di vita e di morte che aveva sugli internati del campo di concentramento di Auschwitz. Sebbene Mengele non fosse un serial killer, il termine viene ormai utilizzato ufficialmente in ambito criminologico. (it)
  • «А́нгел сме́рти» (англ. angel of death, др. название «ангел милосердия», англ. angel of mercy) — тип серийного убийцы в криминальной психологии, как правило, медицинский работник, убивающий пациентов или людей, больных неизлечимыми заболеваниями, причиняющими им страдания. Серийный убийца данного типа часто занимает позицию, которая позволяет ему принимать решения о прекращении или продолжении жизней больных, и использует свои профессиональные знания, чтобы убивать жертв. В некоторых случаях со временем это поведение начинает распространяться и на легко излечимых пациентов, и на здоровых людей. (ru)
