It is said that two masked men, one armed with a cutlass, broke down their bedroom door and asked for money. While robbing the expensive looking items, one of the armed assailants started beating the woman’s husband with the cutlass.  

Following this, one of them raped the woman before the other took her to a nearby abandoned residence where he also assaulted and raped her. Both the assailants then fled the scene and escaped with $5,000 cash, $44,000 jewellery, cell phones and also US documents as the couple hold dual citizenship.
