A 79-year-old woman found unconscious in a Greater Manchester alleyway after an apparent mugging has died.

Nellie Geraghty was discovered with serious head injuries in Shaw at midday on Thursday, on a path at the junction of Kershaw Street and Victoria Street.

Two boys, 14 and 17, have been arrested on suspicion of robbery, police said.

Mrs Geraghty, who was found with the strap of the bag still in her hand, was taken to the Royal Oldham Hospital.

She died at midnight on Saturday.

Lost for words, remember when my grandma had her handbag snatched by some drugie in his 20s, he rode around on a bike, went passed, snatch it and she ended up on the floor, was seething, wanted smash the guys skull in, he ended up getting caught a few weeks later when he tried it again on another old woman.

I hope they got locked away for a long time, hope the woman has a son or grandkids than can ruin the 14 and 17 year old if they every get released or bailed.

No wonder British way of life and communities are is going down the pan, my great auntie wont walk to the shops any more unless a friend drivers her or she gets a taxi.

Same time of year when it happened to her, hey scum need to by presents for their kids as well you know!
 
I saw this on the BBC local site today. I hope they get a seriously long time locked up, although I don't agree about retaliation. An eye for an eye makes us all blind etc.

Not really, will stop them ever thinking about doing it again.

Reading up about it, says she carried her husbands ashes in the handbag.

Mass media, simple report on the bbc is hardly mass media, go back 50 years and I doubt you had kids attacking pensioners to the point they ended up dying for a handbag.

Massive social disorder, need to buy things, chance of easy targets = society today.

Maybe, maybe not, but you certainly would if you went back 150 years, or to pretty much any time. Although, of course, they wouldn't have been pensioners per se as they wouldn't have had a pension.

I know quite a lot of people who remember the 1950s well. Their descriptions don't match the rosy-eyed golden age view of it that we're all fed. You can see the same thing in many times and places - a cultural yearning after a simpler, nobler past...that didn't really exist. Victorian England and imperial (and late republican) Rome come to mind as examples.

Rubbish, criminals have always existed, massive amounts of looting in London during WW2 but when I talk to people around WW2 era, this sort of stuff didn't happen for decades after 80s+ (smack heads) people wanted to get on with life and enjoy, it was basic, it was crap, but it was peace time.

1950s literally having NHS, food you could eat without rationing, mass social housing, from the stories I was told it was still a tough time, kids these days would not last 50 seconds in that era, I have been brought up by my parents and grand parents so know both sides and life is ****

Now the country has lost all its meaning and is just a sponge.

Yeah it's weird how so many find this stuff acceptable. I started work with a company recently and an old school acquaintance was there. She sounds like she knows people that do drugs, fights, arson and the lot. I liked her but how can I even respect someone involved with people like that? She's dumb as a brick as far as I'm concerned now and I don't intend to be all too friendly with her no more.

AS for society going down the pan, yes it's doing it at an alarming rate. Too many liberal idiots and political ignorants who never caught on to the depth of crime going on and the lack of effort to tackle gangs. Most real crime comes from gangs, they then shape the more thuggish who are close to them (and this has changed what used to be minorly annoying ***** into anti-social behaving thugs). Drugs are rife, anti-social behaviour is rife and most crimes are really except of course murder, not like people are dying and fighting all the time.
 
This is the sort of thing that will have apologists climbing out from beneath the rocks in an instant. What they've done is none other than sickening and it was, unfortunately, something teenagers my age boasted about in school a few years back. 'We stole this, we beat up so and so'. Its nothing to be proud of and as a 20 year old today such things make me sick. The worst thing, the biggest criminal in all of this though is the government. The very government that does not sort out the judicial system and therefore lets these type of people get away with such horrendous crimes.

Mark my words, you'll soon get the 'awww, but they're only young, everyone makes mistakes' types of people coming out. Those people are completely deluded. I was appalled by the riots and I'm appalled by this. Its a disgrace!

It sickens me because most teenagers/young adults don't behave or condone this manner. A lot of young people are apologists and therefore sympathise with these types of people which makes me sick. However, most young people want the same things. A good life, sexual activity, a job, money and fun. People like those in the OP who've committed the crime, if you can even call them people, what they did is just sickening, give youngsters a bad name.

Britain should go to a total zero tolerance policy. Commit a serious crime, life sentence.

Murder, rape, serious assault, attempted murder (They still tried to commit murder), etc should be minimum life sentence, maximum death penalty. People say 'if we have the death penalty crime will go up'. Thats nonsense. Crime is high in America purely on the basis of their gun policy and the attitude the police have towards the public, nothing else.

The problem with this is, if someone does a serious assault and they know they will get life, whats then to stop them doing more? "Oh I'm going down for life anyway, I may as well go on a killing spree".
 
Cheets, if you hate what Britain has become - and you do, it's clear in almost every post you make - why don't you leave? I don't hold a very high opinion of you (nor you of me, I'm sure, ha!) but I'm not being antagonistic here : why don't you leave and go somewhere else where you'll be happier with how things are? You just seem really disillusioned and unhappy for such a young man who has a whole life ahead of him and opportunities to take. I don't get it.
 
Kids are being raised by parents who are irresponsible and haven't grown up themselves. The Peter Pan generation. Kids raised by kids, it's a recipe for disaster.

Juveniles of any species need boundaries, and discipline to enforce them. It used to be that brattish, entitled behaviour was the exception, but looking around at the kids i see these days, it has become the norm.
