Disabled mother and her daughter terrorised in home by gunman

A DISABLED mother and her daughter were terrorised by a lone gunman who broke into their home in Limerick yesterday afternoon.

The woman in her fifties, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, was tied up and locked into an upstairs bedroom of her home in Newtown, Castletroy, while the attacker dragged her daughter around the house demanding money.

The attacker continually put a handgun to her head, saying both she and her mother would be shot if they did not tell him where they kept their money.
