Who slays Aeneas' wife?

When the Greeks enter Troy (as a result of Ulysses' Wooden Horse trick) Aeneas at first attempts to organise a commando to repel the invaders. But Hector (now dead) appears to Aeneas in a vision. Hector tells Aeneas that Troy must fall, and that Aeneas' role is to escape with his family and found a 'new Troy' (Rome) in Italy. So Aeneas goes back to his mansion and collects his family (his father Anchises, his wife Creusa, and his son Ascanius). Aeneas then attempt to lead this small family group through the burning ruins of Troy to the beach (where they will later give the Greek armies the slip and sail away in twenty salvaged ships). But while walking through the burning town. Aeneas loses touch with Creusa - and she dies in the flames. Creusa later appears to Aeneas in a vision. She tells him to continue his quest to Italy where he will found a great empire.
