Yung, 61, was initially taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital after he suffered serious injuries in the attack.
The man and woman have since been charged with murder, aggravated serious criminal trespass and commit theft using force.

Police confirmed detectives were not seeking any other suspects over the incident and said there was no connection identified between the arrested people and those being sought for a recent crime spree across Adelaide.
The pair will appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court later this today.
