A Serco custody officer has died after being attacked by a prisoner outside Blackfriars crown court in London.
Lorraine Barwell, 54, was seriously assaulted as she escorted a male prisoner from the court to a van at around 1.35pm on Monday 29 June.
The attack was so severe that London air ambulance was called to treat Barwell at the scene. She was flown to an east London hospital in a critical condition.
Scotland Yard announced on Friday that Barwell had died of her injuries.
Humphrey Burke, 22, had been charged with her assault. He appeared at Camberwell Green magistrates court on Wednesday accused of grievous bodily harm.
Burke, of no fixed abode, is due to appear at the Old Bailey on 15 June.
