A 78-year-old woman died from her injuries after she was punched in the face during a parking dispute in southern Sweden.

"She has died ... Now the case is being investigated as a case of aggravated assault and manslaughter," Calle Persson, a spokesman for police in the southern Skåne region, told AFP.

The woman's 71-year-old husband had Monday afternoon honked at another driver blocking a parking space in a supermarket parking lot in Landskrona near the southern tip of Sweden.

The other driver, reportedly a young man in a small, red car, began beating up the husband and when the wife tried to intervene, punched her in the face.

"She fell to the ground and struck her head," Persson said, adding that the other driver had yet to be apprehended.

The woman was taken to a local hospital, but attempts to save her life failed, and on Wednesday life support was switched off.

What a sick man. I seriously dont understand people that are so violent towards others. Especially in a road rage incident. Come on guys what is this world coming to. I am frightened for my children to have to grow up in this world.....

Quoting Martin:
That Palestinian immigrant certainly has made a name for himself. Murdering 78 year old ladies. Let him rot in prison for eternity.


And deport him after he paid his due in jail. To rejoin his deported family.
