Det Insp Jon Cross said on Tuesday evening: "This was a vicious attack on two elderly and vulnerable members of the community in their own home."
Yet the couple's age probably means a thief would have been able to foil them without violence. So was the attack gratuitous violence? If either of the victims tried to fight of the intruder what sort of individual would use force against two frail elderly people? A sick individual? A selfish one? A downright nasty thug? The only descriptions that spring to mind are such. This is one case that surely must warrant a heavy sentence being given to whoever is proved guilty. Scunthorpe is not a rich area of the country but it is not a hell-hole. BBC News
