A 93-year-old former Nazi concentration camp guard has been spared jail after being found guilty of accessory to 5,230 murders.

Bruno Dey was handed a two-year suspended sentence on Thursday by a court in Hamburg.

In what could be one of the last such cases involving surviving Nazi guards, Dey was convicted for his role in the killings when he was an SS tower guard at the Stutthof camp near what was then Danzig, now Gdansk, in Poland.

Some of the victims were executed while others died of illness. Some 40 survivors and relatives of those who died acted as co-plaintiffs in the legal proceedings.
