A family in Nyanga was recently left hospitalised after eight armed robbers who broke into their house burnt them with a hot iron demanding more cash from the victims.

The suspects, who were wearing masks, pounced on the Kavenga’s homestead in Nyamhuka 2 at around 4am last Saturday.

They gained entrance through the dining-room door which they broke using unknown objects.

The robbers demanded cash and were given US$7 000.

Not satisfied with the amount, the robbers connected an electric iron to the mains and used it to burn the family members all over their bodies in a bid to make them divulge where they could find more money.

As the assault continued, the criminals told the victims not to scream for help. After realising that they had nothing left, the robbers disappeared into the darkness leaving the family to nurse their injuries.

The family was admitted at Nyanga District Hospital where they were  treated for the burns.
