She spent only a few minutes and then walked towards the door with the intention to leave.
The victim was shocked to see the door opening from the outside.
It is alleged three unknown males entered the house, one of whom was armed with a gun.
They ordered her back into the dining room and ordered her to lie on the floor, facing down.
Her aunt and grandfather were also brought into the dining room, and all three were tied up with electric cables.
They were robbed of four cellphones, two laptops, two plasma TVs and a microwave. Bank cards and handbags with personal belongings were also taken.
