Elderly SA Couple Speaks Out About
Brutal Attack
SAL Crime Watch
It's a heartbreaking story. An
elderly couple is beaten and robbed and all by a
man they knew and trusted for years. The couple
spoke out, but only to News 4 WOAI, showing us
the horrific crime that unfolded inside their
east side home.
84 year old Viola Hood and 84 year old Jasper
Heyman say they let a friend into their home and
never expected he would attack them.
News 4 WOAI obtained the arrest affidavit that
states 37 year old Alan Wayne Hughes borrowed
money from the elderly couple a few weeks ago,
but did not come to their home to pay them back.
Instead, the affidavit states, Hughes came armed
with a taser gun and pepper spray. Police say
Hughes used both weapons on the couple and beat
them unconscious before running out of the house
with Hood’s wallet.
News 4 WOAI was allowed inside the couple’s
home where blood stains revealed the brutality.
Our camera found blood splattered on the living
room rug, church hymnals, and on the kitchen
counter. (More.)
