A German court on Wednesday sentenced a Swedish man to life in prison for fatally shooting a woman in Frankfurt 26 years ago. A Frankfurt regional court said it found John Ausonius guilty of murdering restaurant employee Blanka Zmigrod in 1992. German prosecutors reopened the case in 2014 amid concern that authorities hadn't pursued suspected far-right killings vigorously enough in the past. Sweden, where Ausonius was serving a life sentence, agreed to extradite him to Germany in 2016. Frankfurt court spokesman Werner Groeschel said that if the verdict isn't overturned by a higher court, prosecutors will decide whether to allow the 64-year-old to serve his sentence in Sweden.
