Tributes to Bracken Bank attack victim
14th July 2009
Tributes have been paid to an elderly woman who died following a serious assault in Bracken Bank.
Minnie Keat, 86, died in Airedale Hospital on Sunday following an attack the previous Monday.
Her son Barry Keat, 58, from Keighley, has been charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. Mrs Keat was described as a frail but “lovely” person who would do “anything for anybody”.
Mr Keat appeared before Bradford magistrates last Wednesday and was remanded in custody.
He is due to appear before Bradford Crown Court this Thursday via a video link from prison.

This news story really sickens. Just like ALL elder abuse cases, they are often "senseless". We just cannot fathom the mindsets of those family members who commit elder abuse.
Professionals often blame greed for money and drugs.
There must be other explanations, yet to be discovered?
