Case concludes of nursing assistant accused of nine murders

German prosecutors concluded their case today against a nursing assistant accused of killing nine women at a retirement home, saying she deserved life in prison.

The defendant, identified only as Michaela G, is alleged to have killed the women, aged between 79 and 93, between November 2003 and April 2005 at the nursing home in western Germany. Most were allegedly suffocated with cushions or towels.
