Woman of 102 suspected of care home murder in France

A 102-year-old woman is suspected of having murdered her 92-year-old neighbour in a French retirement home.

The suspected killer is now in a psychiatric hospital. Earlier she told one of the carers that she had "killed someone", a prosecutor said.

A carer at the home in Chézy-sur-Marne, northern France, found the victim dead in bed, her face severely bruised.

The cause of death was "strangulation and blows to the head", a post-mortem examination concluded.

Those homes are not very well regulated and they can be nightmares to both deal with and I'm sure living in.
