NEW BEDFORD, Mass. - A 98-year-old woman has been indicted on a second-degree murder charge that accuses her of strangling her 100-year-old roommate in a Massachusetts nursing home.
A grand jury on Friday returned the indictment against Laura Lundquist.
A judge sent her to a state mental hospital for a competency evaluation.
Her roommate, Elizabeth Barrow, was found dead with a plastic bag over her head at the Brandon Woods Nursing Home in Dartmouth, Mass., on Sept. 24.
Barrow's son, Scott Barrow, declined to comment on the indictment.
He has said Lundquist made threatening remarks to his mother about the number of visitors his mother received and said she would outlive Barrow.
Nursing home officials have said the women refused chances to switch rooms and were friendly to each other.

"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
