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.

Detectives have been unable to determine a motive for the attack. Nothing was stolen from the property and the interior was largely undisturbed.
A photograph of Mrs Winnall in hospital has been released at the request of her daughter as part of a police appeal for information.
Detective Chief Inspector Sarb Johal, of West Midlands Police, said police believe "an implement of some sort" was used in the attack.
Officers said Mrs Winnall is showing signs of improvement in hospital.
DCI Johal continued: "This is a truly sickening attack on a defenceless, frail lady as she slept in her own home.
"Mrs Winnall had nothing of note to steal. It was a senseless assault and I'd urge anyone with suspicions about who may be responsible to get in touch straight away.
"The attacker may well have mentioned something to a friend or relative, or perhaps someone remembers a person acting oddly that evening or the following morning."

Words really do fail me when i read things like this.

I bet like the rest of us would love to get whoever done this in a room on his own with something very sharp

Absolute cowardly scum.  I'd happily deal with them.

[MadMariner]

Scum  Scum  Scum    what sort of low life would do this.

My 11 year old Girl was just watching sky news when the report of this come on she was so shocked she was in tears. I think even in today's society there are some crimes that just go above the most sickening and this is one. The Justice system in this country is totally inadequate a sentence for this kind of crime should be long and punishing. If we had the power to dish out 30 year terms in chain gangs for thugs and bullies it would make people think twice, but the reality of it is that we hand out soft sentences that bare no reason to put people off going to prison time and time again.

Absolute cowardly scum.  I'd happily deal with them.

And I would happily join you

Normally in cases like this I'd say I'd pay for the bullet. But in this case I'd say death is too good for whoever is responsible! Give me 5mins alone with the guilty party and I'd have knuckle down the bone!!

I won't buy a mental illness if they catch whoever is responsible that's n excuse nothing more

[harty]

When caught I would slip his cellmate a needle to slip in him whilst asleep.cause of death natural cause.to think the poor lady's screams were unheard.

Seen on the news two people have been arrested in connection to this awful assault.

A man aged 28 and i found surprising a woman, aged 56.

Hope they get whats coming for them if indeed they are the guilty culprits.
