It is thought that Pat Davidson jumped from an upstairs window trying to escape from intruders.

The pensioner was found lying under a window at her home in Aughnacloy, County Tyrone, on Tuesday.

She is now said to be seriously ill, but stable, after previosuly being described as critically ill.

A neighbour called an ambulance and stayed with Ms Davidson until it arrived.
