AN 82-year-old woman viciously bashed and raped in her own backyard in Rockhampton on Australia Day has died in Brisbane.
Police have confirmed the woman lost her fight for life this morning in the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, The Courier-Mail reports.
An 18-year-old man arrested over the crime could now face upgraded charges as a result of her death.
He appeared in Rockhampton Magistrates Court last Thursday charged with attempted murder, two counts of rape, grievous bodily harm, enter dwelling with intent and stealing.
It is alleged he used a fire extinguisher in the attack, which came as the great-grandmother was raking leaves.
