Is this the Wave of the Future? 98-year old Woman Kills Roommate.

I actually heard it was about the 98 year old being annoyed because the 100 year old got a lot of visitors. Apparently, the victim was very popular. The family of the 100 year old tried to get her moved to another room because of the 98 year old, but was told that the two were getting along fine.

I think the real problem is the shortage of trained staff in many, if not most, nursing homes. I doubt this was the first problem these two women had so it should have been addressed and one of them should have been reassigned. Unfortunately, the problems associated with caring for the elderly may get worse as budget cuts impact on the care the residents receive.

I would pray she be smitten by a cool breeze, catch pneumony and die. I do not know. I think age just accentuates whatever is there already. Reasonable people will continue to be reasonable, and the unreasonable may just chuck out all inhibitions and do whatever comes the handiest.

Hi drannhh OH WOW..That is crazy. I know if I lived with someone when I reach that age then to me it's not worth it to fight with anyone at that age. Shoot that window wouldn't mean that much to me. I just give it up and hope that I could get a peak every now and then. Thanks for sharing this story with us. I for one hadn't heard about it and now it is just mind blowing to me. Have a nice day and keep smiling.

What I'm wondering is what good does it do to convict any 98 year old of murder? "Listen lady, you're sentenced to 40 years in prison!" I don't think you can really punish any one at that age - they don't have much further to go, they've lived out their life, and even the victims family feels sorry for the lady.

This story is kind of sad, really. I mean to whack someone, especially because of that particular reason, ewww.. If I were in that situation, I'd just keep quiet. Or worst off, if I'm really in a cranky mood, I would nag. Being old and naggy, that's permissible, isn't it..

Hey drannhh! This story really disturbs me! This woman was sane enough to plan a pre-meditated murder and will get away with it because she is 98 years old! If this was someone younger they would be charged with murder! So the fact that she is 98, and probably not in her right mind she will get away with murder! Sorry, still doesn't sit right with me! Didn't someone know at this facility that something was severely wrong and these two women should be separated! I do blame the facility!

Oh dear, I hope this doesn't go giving Hatley ideas. Just joking Hatley.

Isn't this just terrible?! It's hard to believe that a 98 year old woman would have the strength to kill anybody. She was definitely out of her mind in my opinion. She needs to be in a mental institution, not prison, because of her age, I would think. I go to sing for patients in a nursing home once a month and I see so many whose minds are bad. The article said that her mind would go and come so there's no telling what was going on in her mind at the time. I'm sure the 100 year old got on her nerves a lot but she didn't have to strangle her! I sure hope we won't see any more crimes like this! Kathy.

I am afraid drannhh that on the next morning you will come to know from your concerned neighbors or the same article or the news paper that it is not because of the window but because of the fact "to be in the limelight" and get his or her name in the genius book of records BUT ALL FOR WRONG REASON at this juncture of life......and this is what is more terrifying. The last part of your question......If I would have been there I would have love to sit beside the 100 year old roommate and enjoy the sight from the window and would have take pride off the fact that we have crossed the age of 98 and 100. Keep smiling.

LOL these days every one takes every thing so seriously that they would end up killing them and i am shocked to read that article what made her to kill a Elder roommate about a small issue she must be really sick or the other reason beind this must have molested her .instead of helping others and guiding younger ones with her experience she commits a crime at 98.Now the main news would be "for how many years this old Grand ma would be sentenced for" ? gud day.

It just makes me wonder sometimes what direction our world is headed. Elderly people are the last people you would suspect to do something like this. But, just like our younger folk they are people. As humans we are capable of a lot of things even murder despite our age. Of course I question how much the story was over-exaurated. Rememinds me of when I saw a news report about an elderly woman being arrested because her car was "blocking" trafic. When in reality it wasn't, apparently the cop that arrested her must have been in one serious bad mood. I mean who really is "that" stupid? Nevermind.... human kind is....

She looks so sincere I can believe she is capable to something like this. Is possible she metal health is discoutable.
