Walter Becker, a former Nazi accused of murdering Jews in Poland in World War II, was acquitted by a Hamburg criminal court yesterday. Becker, 74, went on trial last July. The prosecution had called for a life sentence on six charges of murder, complicity in murder and complicity in the deportation of the inhabitants of the Jewish ghetto in Starachowice, Poland.
