JEAN, 80, FIGHTS OFF BURGLARS WITH SWORD
AN ELDERLY widow told yesterday how she fought off two teenage burglars with a 3ft-long antique sword. Jean Freke, 80, grabbed the 100-year-old army officer's dress sword - which belonged to her late husband's father - after the robbers broke down the front door of her home. The pensioner - who suffers from angina - challenged the pair but was punched to the ground by one of them, while the other ransacked her home searching for valuables. Jean feared she going to die until she she managed to get to her feet and grab the blade and point it at one of the men. The pair ran off empty-handed as she yelled: "Get out of my home".Three cheers for Granny! |
