Bibi Zulika Ramroop, 57, yesterday told Stabroek News that she and her husband, Edward Ramroop, 54, were in the lower flat of their house along with their granddaughter while their son and grandson were in the upper flat when the two armed bandits invaded their Lot 1015 Glasgow New Housing Scheme house.

According to the woman, who operates a grocery store at her house, the bandits were armed with a gun and knife and they wore masks during the invasion.
