What on earth though could this 94 year old do to defend herself at all, possibly it seems against 2 much younger people too.

They are not people who can do this to a frail 94 year old, maybe the lady doesn't have a great deal of time left as to life, it's actually a wonder she has survived this barbaric attack on her.

Those who did it though will firstly not get life sentences anyway,unless the lady loses her life,also they will have the rest of their lives,still some with freedom to come as well.

It is hardly any wonder that more and more people would advocate bringing back capital punishment for 'some' crimes with very strict criteria as to it, however I would dare bet that in a refendum on this issue would get at least 70% to 80% support for it.
