Woman, 92, woke up to find stranger in her bedroom - it was just the start of her horror ordeal at the hands of vile couple

A 92-year-old woman was bound, gagged and tied to a chair after a drug addict couple robbed her to feed their heroin habits. The elderly victim was left tied up and locked in her own home in Burnage as vile robbers Leanna Connors and Edward Connors fled with a lifetime worth of jewellery including her wedding ring.

Edward Connors, 30, a convicted rapist, had noticed that the woman had left her window open at about 11pm on a warm June evening last year. He used a set of ladders to climb into her bedroom, Manchester Crown Court heard.

Connors then bound her wrists with a dressing gown cord and ordered her downstairs. He then used the house keys to let in his partner, 29-year-old Leanna Connors.
