Wife, 62, died of head injuries after being attacked by dementia-suffering husband who didn't know what he was doing

A woman died after she was attacked by her husband who suffered from Alzheimer's disease, an inquest has heard. Christine Williamson, 62, had repeatedly told authorities that she was being assaulted by her mentally ill husband James. A coroner ruled today that her death could have been prevented if the officials had shared information about the threats that she faced. Doctors said that Mr Williamson 'would not have known what he was doing' when he struck his wife a fatal blow, due to his advanced dementia.
