Maritz, a disgraced and deregistered nurse, allegedly administered medication to pregnant women that is suspected to have caused deaths and birth complications.

Möller and Von Kloëg filed criminal complaints in 2020 and 2022 respectively, claiming that birthing complications under Maritz’s care led to the death of Von Kloëg’s boy nine days after his birth, and left Möller’s daughter with cerebral palsy. It is alleged that five babies had died and several had been left severely disabled at the hands of Maritz over a four-year period.

Police investigation into the unnatural death of the Von Kloëg couple’s son followed allegations that Maritz did not heed the parents’ concerns about abnormalities during the sonar scan done at 24 weeks.
