Two boys, aged 14 and 15, have been arrested on suspicion of murder after an 82-year-old woman died after a robbery at her home in Suffolk.
Joy Middleditch died in hospital after being found on the floor of her home following the incident on Saturday, police said.
“The victim was found conscious but in a serious condition and was taken to James Paget Hospital for treatment. Sadly, the woman died at hospital in the early hours of Monday 27 March,” they said.
The two teenagers are both from the Lowestoft area, east Suffolk, and are being questioned by Martlesham Police.
A Home Office post-mortem examination was carried out on Monday but the cause of death is yet to be confirmed.
