A 100-year-old woman died after a mugger broke her neck as he snatched her handbag, a court heard. Polish-born widow Ms Kaczan, who was held in a Nazi camp during the Second World War, suffered multiple injuries, including a fractured neck and cheekbone, before her condition deteriorated. 'The prosecution say it was this man in the dock who robbed her and whose actions led to her death. Ms Brunner said the defendant was caught on CCTV disposing of the handbag in a well-known fly-tipping area. Ms Brunner added: 'We say it must have been the robbery that caused the end of a 100-year-old life.'
