A 95-year-old woman has been charged with murder in the killing of her 89-year-old roommate at a Coney Island nursing home, prosecutors said. Galina Smirnova, 95, is accused of fatally bludgeoning Nina Kravitsov with a wheelchair footrest, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office. Assistant District Attorney Ari Rottenberg said in court that nursing staff checked on the women around 8:55pm on Sept. 14 and found Kravitsov asleep in bed and the room in order.
