He then went to investigate,” he says.He adds that a widespread search for the woman ensued but soon after, reports came in that the same woman was spotted on Rudling Road and needed medical attention.

David says Mi7 Emergency Medical Services was dispatched and treated the woman for minor burns and injuries. “She reported that both she and her partner were attacked by several men who stabbed her partner, started the fire, and attempted to assault her too.”“Reports then came in that the woman’s partner had been found on Allen Road.
