A 66-year-old man living in a Queens nursing home beat his roommate to death with a wheelchair leg rest after a fight over a room divider, police said.

Thomas Yarnavick, a resident of the Beacon Nursing Home on Beach 113th St., was charged with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon after killing his unidentified 71-year-old roommate over a spat about a curtain room divider, according to the NYPD and published reports.

The two had been sharing the space since July and fought often, reports said.
