(CNN) — A 102-year-old woman is under suspicion of the murder of her 92-year-old neighbor in a residential care home in Chézy-sur-Marne, northern France.
A carer found the “lifeless” 92-year-old woman in her room shortly after midnight Saturday morning and alerted emergency services, a spokeswoman for the High Court of Soissons told CNN, referring to a press release.
The woman’s face was visibly swollen, the court’s statement said. An autopsy revealed she died by asphyxiation, after being strangled and punched in the head.
The woman living in the room next door told the carer she had “killed someone,” the spokeswoman said.
In a “state of confusion and agitation,” the 102-year-old was admitted first to a hospital, then to a psychiatric hospital.
Police have opened an investigation into “voluntary homicide against a person vulnerable due to their physical condition,” the AFP news agency reports.
Prosecutor Frederic Trinh told AFP news agency that the suspect will undergo a psychological examination to determine whether she can be held criminally responsible for her neighbor’s death.
Police have not yet been able to question the woman, Trinh said.

PARIS (KRON) — A 65-year-old billionaire diamond tycoon has died after he reportedly suffered a heart attack during a penis enlargement procedure.
Ehud Arye Laniado died from complications during the surgery at a medical clinic in Paris, according to local Belgian newspaper Gazet van Antwerpen.
Laniado, a Belgian-Israeli dual national, owned Omega Diamonds based in Antwerp.
“It is with great sadness that we confirm the news that our founder, Ehud Arye Laniado passed away on Saturday, March 2, 2019. He was 65 years old,” the company said in a statement on Facebook. “After living an exceptional life Ehud will be brought back home to Israel as his final resting place. He will be dearly missed by us all.”
A friend of Laniado who spoke to the publication said that he “always focused on his appearance and how others perceived him,” adding that he allegedly checked his own bank balance “multiple times a day.”
“It turned out that he did have some talents,” another friend said. “Internationally, he was one of the biggest experts in valuing raw diamonds.”
In 2015, he was responsible for the sale of the Blue Moon of Josephine, the world’s most expensive diamond, for $48.4 million.
He was also reportedly the owner of the most expensive penthouse in Monaco, worth approximately $40 million, according to MailOnline.
Most recently, Laniado and a business partner were due to appear in court on March 14 after the pair was reportedly suspected of lying about the origin of diamonds imported from Angola and Congo.
The two also allegedly owed about $5.1 million in unpaid taxes.
AUSTRALIA (CNN) — Amateur fossil enthusiast Phil Mullaly knew he had found something special when he spotted something glimmering in a boulder.
Mullaly was walking along Jan Juc, a renowned fossil site along Victoria’s Surf Coast in south Australia, when he spotted a partially exposed shark tooth in the rock.
“I was immediately excited, it was just perfect,” Mullaly said.
That was just one of multiple teeth Mullaly found that day in 2015. Three years later, scientists have confirmed his hunch, saying Thursday that the teeth are all about 25 million years old and belonged to an extinct species of mega-toothed shark — the Great Jagged Narrow-Toothed Shark (Carcharocles angustidens).
The ancient shark was believed to grow up to about 9 meters (30 feet) long, double the size of a great white shark. The teeth discovered on the beach were around 7 cm (2.75 inches) in length.
Mullaly’s is one of the rarest finds in the history of paleontology, according to Erich Fitzgerald, a palaeontologist at Museums Victoria who led a team to excavate the site where the initial fossils were found.
“If you think about how long we’ve been looking for fossils around the world as a civilization — which is maybe 200 years — in (that time) we have found just three (sets of) fossils of this kind on the entire planet, and this most recent find from Australia is one of those three,” Fitzgerald told CNN.
‘My jaw sort of dropped’
Fitzgerald said he was first contacted by Mullaly last year about a different discovery, during which he briefly mentioned the find at Jan Juc, but it wasn’t until the amateur fossil hunter brought the teeth into the museum that Fitzgerald realized how significant the discovery was.
Sharks have the ability to regrow teeth, and can lose up to a tooth a day. That cartilage does not easily decompose, which is why individual shark tooth fossils are somewhat common. However, Fitzgerald said that finding multiple teeth from a single shark is extremely rare.
“That doesn’t happen. That just doesn’t happen. That’s only happened once before in Australia, and that was a totally different species of shark,” he said.
When Mullaly told him the boulder he found was still on the beach, Fitzgerald said “my jaw sort of dropped.”

Fitzgerald organized a team to get down to the south Australia coast. They chose to conduct the excavation in December 2017, when the tides were low. Within 20 minutes of searching, Fitzgerald’s team started to find teeth.
In the end, they extracted more than 40 different specimens. Fitzgerald attributes the finds to dogged work and a bit of luck.
“Paleontology is one of the last branches of science where serendipity, where chance events, timing, coincidence plays a most vital role,” he said.
“On that particular day at that particular time, Phil Mullaly was the right man for the job on that beach on the southern coast of Australia.”
Sharks eating sharks
The teeth Fitzgerald’s team found didn’t just belong to the Great Jagged Narrow-Toothed Shark. They also found teeth belonging to several different Sixgill sharks (Hexanchus), Museums Victoria said, a species that still roams Australia’s coastal waters.
Researchers believe those teeth were left behind as a result of getting lodged in the carcass of the Great Jagged Narrow-Toothed Shark as smaller sharks fed on it after the much larger animal died.

“The teeth of the sixgill shark work like a crosscut saw, and tore into the Carcharocles angustidens like loggers felling a tree. The stench of blood and decaying flesh would have drawn scavengers from far around,” Museums Victoria palaeontologist Tim Ziegler said in a statement.
“Sixgill sharks still live off the Victorian coast today, where they live off the remains of whales and other animals. This find suggests they have performed that lifestyle here for tens of millions of years.”
What’s next?
Fitzgerald’s team has finished their field research and are now working to learn more about how the teeth of the Great Jagged Narrow-Toothed shark developed in order to better understand its evolutionary history.
“If we can find out any more clues about the lifestyle (and) the ecology of this extinct species, that might shed light as to what led to its extinction,” he said.
Fitzgerald said he believes there may be even more shark teeth at Jan Juc and even parts of a spinal column lodged in the cliff, based on what he saw during the excavation. For now, those potential samples are about 20 meters (65 feet) high, out of the reach of excavators.
“I’m willing to bet there’s more up there,” he said. “We’ll be waiting and ready for the next expedition down to salvage a giant prehistoric shark.”
A Canadian woman was caught on camera pulling down her pants, doing her business, and throwing the end result at a Tim Horton’s employee who denied her access to the restroom.
So today at a Tim Hortons 20 mins away from me this happened….???? pic.twitter.com/6aPRSu1w1M— ???? (@jessicawaddell) May 16, 2018
A spokesperson for Tim Horton’s told BuzzFeed that some of its restaurants have a “restricted access policy for restrooms to ensure the well-being of our guests.”
The spokesperson said their current understanding of the situation is that the woman was denied access to the restroom due to “past behavior.”
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police told BuzzFeed the woman was “briefly detained after the incident” and prosecutors will determine if the woman will face charges when she appears in court at a later date.
Just last week, Starbucks told employees to let anyone use the restroom, even if they haven’t bought anything, as it reviews its policies and tries to restore its reputation after the arrest of two black men at a coffee shop in Philadelphia.
