A 39-year-old woman has been charged with murder following the death of a 93-year-old great-grandmother found at her home in Greater Manchester. Amelia Ali, of no fixed abode, will appear at Manchester Crown Court on Thursday in connection with the incident.
Judy Zussman was discovered by officers at an address in Gatley, Stockport, on the morning of April 16, Greater Manchester Police said. A woman was arrested at the scene and subsequently detained under the Mental Health Act.
Woman charged with murder
