A 95-year-old woman has been charged with murder after police say she killed her 89-year-old roommate at a Brooklyn nursing home. Galina Smirnova was arrested Tuesday and arraigned Wednesday on charges of second-degree murder and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
The deadly attack happened at the Seagate Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Coney Island on Sunday night around 10:30 PM. Nina Kravtsov, the victim, was found in her bed covered in blood with severe head injuries. She was rushed to NYU Langone Hospital where she died from blunt force trauma early Monday morning.
