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. He has said Lundquist had made threatening remarks to his mother about the number of visitors his mother received and told her she would outlive her.
Nursing home officials said the women both refused chances to switch rooms and were friendly and affectionate to each other.
