91-year-old German charged with Nazi-era murder

11/26/12: The Miami Herald reports German prosecutors have charged a 91-year-old former member of the Nazi Waffen SS with murder in the 1944 slaying of a Dutch resistance fighter. Siert Bruins, a Dutch-born German citizen, already served time in the 1980’s for the wartime murder of two Dutch Jews. Prosecutor Andreas said Monday that the suspect is now accused of killing resistance fighter Aldert Klaas Dijkima in September 1944. Bruins and an accomplice, who has since died, are accused of driving Dijkima to an isolated spot shortly after he had been apprehended and then shooting him four times, including twice in the back of the head. The case has now been turned over to a court in Hagen to determine whether there is enough evidence to proceed to trial.
