A 94-year-old grandmother is seriously ill in hospital with a fractured
skull and partially severed finger after being beaten in her own bed as she
slept.
Police said Emma Winnall also suffered a broken arm and wrist in the
"vicious" and "sickening" assault at her West Midlands home.Her carer raised the alarm at 9am on Tuesday but detectives said the attack,
which left her with potentially life-threatening injuries, could have occurred
at any time from 9pm on Monday night.
Mrs Winnall, of Pensby Close, Moseley, in Birmingham, was taken to hospital
and remains under sedation after emergency surgery, which involved inserting
metal plates into her arm.
