A 48-year-old woman has been charged with manslaughter after a victim of an assault on Young Street died from her injuries more than a month later.

Officers responded to a residence in the 100 block of Young Street on August 18 for reports of an assault, where they found a 57-year-old woman injured. She was taken to hospital and stabilized, but her condition later deteriorated. The suspect had fled before police arrived.
