A convicted murderer from Sweden has been found guilty of killing a Holocaust survivor in Germany 26 years ago.

On Wednesday, the Frankfurt District Court handed down its verdict against John Ausonius for the 1992 shooting death of 68-year-old Blanka Zmigrod and sentenced him to life in prison. A life sentence in Germany is 14 years.

The court heard nine days of hearings in a trial that began in December.
