A luxury hotelier, 78, and his 71-year-old sister are set to stand trial accused of murdering their 100-year-old mother, after both denied the charge. The case has drawn attention because of the family's prominent background in the hospitality industry and the extreme age of the alleged victim, raising questions about how and why such a killing could have occurred within the family.

Details of the alleged circumstances of the mother's death, along with the specific charges and any additional context about the family or investigation, were not fully specified in the available report. The siblings are expected to appear before the court as proceedings move towards a full trial.
