A 98-year-old nursing home resident has been charged with second degree murder for allegedly suffocating her 100-year-old room-mate.
Laura Lundquist from Massachusetts is accused of killing Elizabeth Barrow (picture at left), who was found dead in her room in Dartmouth in 24 September with a plastic bag over her head.
Police initially thought Ms Barrow had killed herself but a medical examiner declared it murder after a post-mortem indicated she had been strangled.
Scott Barrow, the victim’s son, said, that Lundquist made threatening remarks to his mother and said she would outlive Barrow. Ms Lundquist had frequently complained that her room-mate had too many visitors.
“We’re devastated,” Scott Barrow told a local TV station. “My mother was well-loved. She loved everyone at the nursing home.
“She had a daily routine where she would go up and down the hallway and hug people who weren’t as fortunate as she.”
A state judge ordered Ms Lundquist to a local hospital where doctors will evaluate her competency before she is arraigned, according to local media.
She is believed to be the oldest murder defendant in the history of Massachusetts. However, her case may never get to court because of her mental issues.

Hi there. I would like to know what the following: ZoneAlarm, and Windows Defender will do for my laptop. I already have avast! 4 Home Edition installed, and would like to enhance my laptop’s security. And that’s why I would like to know what ZoneAlarm and Windows Defender will do, what else do they cover? What parts of my laptop do they protect and so on, for instance, internet security or the laptop itself? If you know what I mean. I’d just like to know because avast! is great, they are a very good anti-virus software, I’ve been using them for around a month or two, or more, and they have been brilliant. I’m just wondering because I’ve heard that ZoneAlarm and Windows Defender are two other great softwares that can enhance and improve someone’s laptop (or even computer). I’m very happy with avast! at the moment, they are doing a great job in protecting my laptop. But I wouldn’t mind knowing what else I can do with ZoneAlarm and Windows Defender. If there are other options too, other than ZoneAlarm and Windows Defender, please do let me know, as I would look into them more. So, please, let me know what ZoneAlarm and Windows Defender’s functions are, and what role they play. Thank you. santoramaa
