Once inside, the thieves dragged him across the house and then tied both him and his wife hand and foot. The beating apparently caused a severe rib fracture to the man but his ordeal was unfortunately not over.
The burglars persistently asked the helpless couple to reveal where they kept their money and jewelry, but the couple did not respond so the robbers decided to torture the man by burning his face with an electric iron! Right after this occurred the two robbers fled with all the couples valuables.
