NEW BEDFORD, Mass. (AP) - A 98-year-old woman has been indicted on a second-degree murder charge alleging she strangled her 100-year-old roommate in a Dartmouth nursing home.
A Bristol grand jury on Friday returned the indictment against Laura Lundquist. A Superior court judge ordered Lundquist sent for a competency evaluation to Taunton State Hospital.
On Sept. 24, Elizabeth Barrow was found dead with a plastic bag over her head at Brandon Woods Nursing Home.
Barrow's son, Scott Barrow, declined comment on the indictment.
