By JTA August 4, 2009

A Bronx woman was charged in the murder of an 89-year-old Holocaust survivor.

Angela Murray was arraigned Sunday on charges of robbery and murder in the death of Guido Felix Brinkmann, who was discovered bound and beaten last week in his New York City apartment, the Daily News reported.

Police are also seeking Murray’s companion in connection with the crime.

Brinkmann reportedly was interned at several concentration camps, including Auschwitz.
