A 98-year-old Massachusetts woman has been charged with second-degree murder for allegedly suffocating her 100-year-old nursing home roommate, local media reported.
Laura Lundquist is accused of killing Elizabeth Barrow, who was found dead in her room in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, in September with a plastic bag over her head.
Authorities initially investigated the possibility of suicide, but eventually recommended a murder charge.
Ms Lundquist had frequently complained that her roommate had too many visitors, media reported.
A state judge ordered Lundquist to a local hospital where doctors will evaluate her competency before she is arraigned, according to local media.
Law enforcement officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
