It appears that at about three o'clock this morning, a gang armed robbers broke into the house, and gagged and bound Mrs. Tang, an aged lady of 76 years, together with other occupants of her
room.
The robbers then proceeded to ransack the room for valuabies, but must have "been disturbed some little time later for they made what was an obviously hurried exit, leaving much of value behind them.'
When rescuers went to Mrs. Tang's assistance, it was found that so tightly had she been gagged with a towel which had been bound round both mouth and nose that she had been suffocated to death.
