An 88-year-old woman was left badly shocked after she was subjected to a frightening robbery at her home in Co Armagh yesterday.

Two intruders threatened to drown the pensioner after running water in her kitchen and covering her head with a towel during the ordeal at her home on the Armagh Road in Keady, Co Armagh, last night.

They forced their way past her when she answered the front door at around 7.15pm, ransacked her house and escaped with a small sum of cash.
