A woman has died in hospital a week after being assaulted, police have said.

She suffered serious injuries following an incident inside a property on High Street, Chelveston, Northamptonshire, on 2 February and died on Monday, the county's police force said.

A 50-year-old man was charged with attempted murder and remanded into custody after appearing at Northampton Magistrates' Court on 4 February, police added. They have since asked for anyone with further information to come forward.

Det Insp Matt Bly added the force was "not looking for anyone else" over the death, adding its thoughts were "with everyone who loved this woman".
