The 46-year-old injected silicone oil into the patient’s genitals during an operation to enlarge the penis size in July 2019, reported several media outlets, including the Chron.
The victim died as a result of this dishonest operation after suffering the agonizing effects of a septic infection for seven months.
The alleged doctor Torben K had no medical qualifications, but was an employee of a catering company and offered his penis enlargement services online.
He is said to have carried out the operations in his home in Solingen.
The victim reportedly developed difficulty breathing when he returned home after the fatal procedure.
Torben K would probably have carried out more potentially fatal operations last March.
The defendant refused to tell the court the type of silicone used in the procedure.
