A Scottish mum says she was willing to die defending her beloved children after three men broke into her home and slashed her with a machete.
Ashley Reilly, 35, screamed at her son Benji, 14, and daughter Vogue, six, to hide as she tried to scare off the gang who invaded her house in Lanark at 4am on May 2.
The terrified mum was awoken by the noise of her front window being smashed in and begged her children to run up the stairs.
