The gate, which was locked, was opened and a white sedan reversed into the yard.
Seeing them, the victim ran into the other bedroom and locked herself in.
From the bedroom, the victim could hear the suspects breaking the sitting room door, then the door of the bedroom she was hiding in.
One suspect, armed with a firearm and a crowbar, told her not to scream and covered her head with a blanket.
She could hear that they were busy in the house. After a while she heard screams from the outside and the suspects talked among themselves that they should leave.
