Mr Paul shouted: “There is a man in my house; come quickly,” and ran back to his home, where neighbours found him bending over his wife, who was/lying senseless. Both were removed to hospital. The husband returned to his home after treatment. The children, who are now with a neighbour, have not been informed of the tragedy.
