Lifelong for NSU member Beate Zschäpe for Nazi murders

munich - A court in Munich, Germany, sentenced Beate Zschäpe, a member of the National Socialist Underground (NSU), to life imprisonment for ten murders. These were committed in the period 2000 and 2007. Victims were nine migrants and a policewoman.

The police did not track the underground, right-wing extremist cell until 2011 after two other members committed suicide. The trial against the 43-year-old Zschäpe and four suspects who are seen as helpers has lasted more than five years.
