A New York City woman has been accused of strangling an 89-year-old man who survived the Holocaust after being sent to Auschwitz.

Guido Felix Brinkmann, who used to run a nightclub in New York, was found in his bed with his hands bound Thursday. He had been asphyxiated.

Investigators said he regularly invited younger women to his apartment for sex. Brinkmann's doorman told police a man and a woman went to the home the night before his body was found. The two were later seen in Brinkmann's car.

Brinkmann was the former owner of a nightclub called Adam's Apple.

Angela Murray, 30, of New York, was arraigned Sunday on murder and robbery charges. Her male companion was being sought.
