"A 32-year-old woman is fighting for her life in hospital after an attack in her Aurora home that left her with severe head injuries. The woman’s husband is now in custody, charged with attempted murder."
Our thoughts are with this woman and her children. We hope for a complete recovery from both her injuries and the ongoing abuse she appears to have suffered.
