An OAP who suffered a stroke was brutally sexually assaulted while she lay in her hospital bed and bled to death as she was unable to fight back. Valerie Kneale's family thought they lost her to a stroke but the disturbing results of a routine post-mortem examination revealed the horrifying truth.
The 75-year-old gran died from her injuries, the Mirror reports. The pathologist performing the post-mortem immediately raised the alarm with police who have now launched a murder inquiry.
Officers are concerned the attacker is still on the loose and believes he has likely carried out strikes before and may well strike again. Valerie had been at home with her husband Bill when she had the first stroke during her dinner and was rushed to Blackpool Victoria Hospital on November 12, 2018.
