Victim, 94, asks: who would do this to me?

A 94-YEAR-OLD woman who was savagely attacked in her own bed has told police how frightened she was during the assault and was “struggling to understand” why she was targeted.

Specially trained officers interviewed Emma Winnall in hospital, where she is recovering after emergency surgery.

She was battered at her home in Moseley, Birmingham, some time between 9pm on Monday and 9am on Tuesday, when she was found by her carer.

The attack, described by police as sickening and senseless, left the frail pensioner with multiple injuries including a fractured skull, a broken arm and wrist and a partially severed finger. She has been sedated for much of her time in hospital, where she has had metal plates inserted into her arm.

A shocking photograph showing the extent of her injuries was released by West Midlands Police, at the request of Mrs Winnall’s daughter, in a bid to persuade anyone with information to come forward.

Detective Chief Inspector Sab Johal said: “Officers spoke to her as she recovers in hospital.

“While the content of that interview is private, I can say that she can recall the incident and explained just how frightened she was during this senseless attack.”
