The fight occurred about thief of 2.30 hours, in place of Regadas. Maria Luisa woke startled when a stranger entered in her room, took off her pillow and guarantees, tried to cover her mouth with it.

Despite waking up with such a scenario, the elderly reacted immediately. "I faced him. Fought with allmy strength to free myself. He was trying to cover my mouth with the pillow," said the woman. Distressed, Maria Luisa tried all means to get rid of the robber who, moments earlier, had entered the house through a window.

Good for her, what a cowardly scumbag!

I agree with you bb1, I have also noticed that shutters of the window were mentioned, which proves, again, that these types of shutters can be used for abduction or for robberies.
