He physically assaulted her, leaving her with severe injuries both internal and external; then he went to bed. https://padlet.com/lfountain2/l0boumhk7iwu/wish/148982150 2017-01-24 12:42:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lfountain2/l0boumhk7iwu/wish/148982150 5) The following morning he wheeled Maria in a pram to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton with severe internal injuries including brain damage; she died shortly after arrival.
