After being in a coma for two years, an American woman woke up this week remembering her attacker.
In June 2020, Wanda Palmer was beaten in her Cottageville, West Virginia home. She had received several blows to the head. Despite her condition, she managed to call 9-1-1.
“When we got there, we thought she was dead,” Jackson County Sheriff Ross Mellenger told MetroNews.
Since her assault, Ms Palmer had been in a coma and remained in a long-term care facility in New Martinsville. Investigators were unable to find his assailant due to a lack of clues.
But this week, the lady woke up from her coma.
Despite extensive brain damage, she was able to identify the person: it was her brother, Daniel Palmer.
Mr. Palmer was arrested earlier this week and charged with attempted murder and grievous bodily harm to his sister.
