Quite easy this. The chances of getting caught are minimal. So, you have access to the sick and dying because you are an ambulance worker. You inject a vein with air - causing death by embolism. Then, you recommend a funeral agency linked to the Sicilian mafia. You get a cash reward of several hundred euros for every referral. This is good business - until a reformed mafia man gives information to the police. This information suggests that the scheme has been in operation since 2012. One wonders how many others received the lethal injection, this cold needle of death.
I read this report on the BBC webpage. It is reports like this that can inspire stories. I have said it before and I will say it again until I am blue in the face - truth is stranger than fiction! Next time you hear that siren blaring, the roar of an engine telling you that help is on its way, it might be the ambulance of death. Trust nobody! And that could be your title.
