"A 95-year-old woman with dementia was arrested Tuesday two days after she allegedly beat a fellow Coney Island nursing home resident to death with a metal wheelchair piece. Galina Smirnova was cuffed Tuesday afternoon for allegedly striking 89-year-old Holocaust survivor Nina Kravtsov multiple times in the head when a feud erupted just after 10 p.m. Sunday inside the Seagate Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, according to authorities."
"She died from her injuries early Monday, cops said. "I was devastated," daughter Lucy Flom told The Post. "My friends are saying they can't believe it because it only happens in movies." Flom said her mother was a Holocaust survivor who lived in Ukraine before moving to the US and settling down in Brighton Beach with her husband - always sacrificing for others."
