After a five-year trial, a member of a neo-Nazi gang has been found guilty of 10 racially-motivated murders.
Beate Zsch�pe was the main defendant on trial over the murder of eight ethnic Turks, a Greek citizen and a policewoman between 2000 and 2007.
The verdict carries an automatic life sentence.
The connection between the murders was only discovered by chance in 2011, after a botched robbery led to the neo-Nazi group's discovery.
Zsch�pe shared a flat with two men, who died in an apparent suicide pact. The bodies of Uwe Mundlos and Uwe B�hnhardt were found in a burnt-out caravan.
A public inquiry followed over how German police failed to discover the murder plot earlier.
