    A former nurse has admitted 11 counts of murder at a retirement home in Australia, according to reports.

    Roger Dean, 37, pleaded guilty over the deaths at the Quakers Hill Nursing Home in Sydney in November 2011, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper reported.

    Dean stood by and watched as the fire ripped through the building, the Morning Herald said.

    In the New South Wales Supreme Court on Monday, Dean looked at his feet and spoke quietly as he said guilty to each count. Relatives cries and held hands. He also admitted eight charges of recklessly causing grievous bodily harm and had previously pleaded guilty to stealing painkillers.

    The TV station reported there were more than 80 residents in the home when the fire started.
