POLICE have arrested two suspects in connection with the death of a great-grandmother who was mugged for her fish supper.

Marie Watson, 77, died on Saturday after she was attacked in Heaton, Newcastle, on April 4.

She was wrestled to the ground and robbed of her black shopping bag containing a piece of fish and personal items. The widow suffered severe bruising, a fractured arm and broken ribs.

Last night, officers were questioning the suspects - a man and a woman - but no further details were available.
