Farmer escapes death when assailant's gun explodes

Betty Hasler, 78, was expecting to spend a relaxing hour in front of her television on Sunday evening, but instead found herself being dragged from her bed at gunpoint and tied up alongside family members.

She also watched from the floor as her husband Willy, 64, was hit over the head with a heavy meat hook and wounded when a gun held by one of the robbers "exploded".
