Nurse Roger Kingsley Dean felt 'sense of evil' as he lit deadly fires in Quakers Hill Nursing Home Nurse Roger Dean has confessed to killing eleven elderly victims in the Quakers Hill Nursing Home fire ROGER Kingsley Dean felt "a sense of evil" as he set two deadly fires inside the Quakers Hill Nursing Home, with the convicted murderer telling police in his interview that he "didn't think it would be disastrous." The registered nurse, who pleaded guilty on Monday to 11 counts of murder, told police in an interview after his arrest in November 2011 that he "had done something stupid and something I wish I'd never done." "I tried to make amends by going back to the wing to see if I could get more people out as possible, which I tried but the smoke was too much for me," Dean told police. He said the only time he had ever lit a fire was setting a bunch of newspapers alight when he was 12, and that he thought he could contain the blaze to "a small flame." Images released following the guilty pleas, entered the morning his four week trial was due to start, show burnt beds and the extensive damage caused by the inferno. "When I put [the lighter] in my pocket...it wasn't like I had an idea that I'm going to go and light this or light that," he said. There was an empty bed when I did my rounds, and, not thinking that it would be disastrous, I just lit the sheet and it started just as a small flame and I thought that's okay. Like, that's containable. I love the residents very much and I have a really good rapport with them so I feel extremely bad, and I just feel evil, that I'm just corrupted with evil thoughts that made me do it. But when asked what his intention was in starting the fire, which saw three residents die and the scene and another eight pass away in hospital, he said "it was something that I wanted like, I felt like I needed to do." "I just felt this sense of evil in me," he added. If you ask people who know me I treat people well, but I think what I did was wrong and evil. The 37-year-old returns to the Supreme Court tomorrow, where a date for his sentencing hearing will be fixed. Photo: Channel 9
