He was employed to care for the elderly residents of a western Sydney nursing home. Instead, the Quakers Hill nurse has been charged with murdering eight of them.
Roger Dean, 35, who had initially been charged with four counts of murder, on Thursday faced four additional murder charges following the deaths of nine people from the fire.
The registered nurse waived his right to be present at Sydney’s Central Local Court on Thursday, but lawyers there on his behalf said he would appear by video link on February 16.
Magistrate John Favretto acknowledged the enormity of the task ahead and extended the normal brief period from six weeks to 10 weeks, to allow police to comb through the forensic and medical evidence.
Detective Chief Inspector Pamela Young from the homicide squad said the case was unprecedented.
“It is so enormous and onerous a task … that I really can’t quantify it,” she told journalists outside the court.
Dean is said to have worked at the site of the fatal blaze for a short time before fire devastated the Hambledon Road facility.
Two fires are believed to have broken out in separate wings of the Quakers Hill nursing home in the early hours of Friday morning.
Dean has been charged with the murder of two unnamed residents and Alma Smith, 73, who all died at the scene of the fire.
He is also charged with the murder of Lola Bennett, 86, who died at Royal North shore hospital later on Friday; Ella Wood, 97, who died at Concord Repatriation General Hospital on Saturday; Urbana Alipio, 79, who died on Sunday at Liverpool Hospital; Caesar Galea, 82, who died at Hawkesbury Hospital; and Dorris Becke, 96, who died at Blacktown Hospital.
Another resident of the nursing home, Neeltje Balkey, 90, died on Tuesday. However, no charges have been laid in relation to her death.
Inspector Young said the cause of her death had not yet been determined.
A memorial service was held for the victims on Wednesday.
