Attack witness 'ran into her death', family say
The family of a woman who died in Newry last week has linked her death to anti-social incidents.
Anu Okusanya, 46, died last week - days after her family said she witnessed a gang of young people attacking another person close to her home in the city.
Anu's brother, Gbenga Oluwasanya, told BBC News NI that she ran to a neighbour's home after the incident, but as she went into the house, she had an asthma attack, which led to multiple heart attacks.
She later died in hospital.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said when Anu became unwell officers performed CPR and applied a defibrillator to try to save her life.
"She was taken to hospital but sadly passed away some days later," said Supt Norman Haslett.
“Our enquiries have established that this verbal altercation involved a number of individuals to which Anu was a witness but not directly involved."
Supt Haslett said he sent his sincerest condolences to her family and friends, adding that anyone with more information should contact the police.
