Three individuals, including a woman, are accused of assaulting a grandmother in Perth with great force and stealing $200,000 worth of jewelry from her residence.
After supposedly being handed a phony police badge, Perth grandma Nannette, 73, and her 76-year-old husband Phillip allowed three men into their Girrawheen house.
As soon as Phillip opened the door, he was reportedly shoved to the ground and had his hands tied behind his back for restraint.
Nannette suffered even worse; she was supposedly restrained as the perpetrator struck her in the face many times, knocking her out.
Public and police alike were appalled by photos showing Nannette’s severely scarred and battered face.
