A man has been charged with manslaughter and robbery after the death of a 100-year-old woman.
Sofija Kaczan was approached from behind and pushed to the ground in the Normanton area of Derby at about 08:45 BST on 28 May.
She died on Wednesday after suffering multiple injuries in the attack including a broken neck.
Arthur Waszkiewicz, 39, of Wolfa Street, Derby, will appear before magistrates on Saturday.
He is due to appear at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court.
Following the robbery, Mrs Kaczan's green handbag was found dumped a few hundred yards away at the junction of Moore Street and Normanton Road.
Investigating officer Det Ch Insp Darren De'ath thanked the local community for their help in the case.
Ms Kaczan is reported to have forgiven her attacker at a mass at Royal Derby Hospital before she died.
Speaking after her death, Mrs Kaczan's friends Monika Zareba and Maria Wojtczak said: "You didn't think something like this could happen to old people.
"It shouldn't happen. We can't believe it... shocked."
An inquest into Mrs Kaczan's death was earlier opened and adjourned.
