Date Published: 12-Jun-2012

One of two elderly brothers subjected to an ordeal at their home in Williamstown during an aggravated burglary has been returned to hospital for further treatment.

Michael and Owen Kelly, both in their 80s, were targeted by two masked raiders in their rural home at Ballyroe last week.

The two men wearing balaclavas and carrying implements entered the home of the unmarried brothers at around 11 last Thursday night.

The pensioners were tied up, but managed to free themselves and contact the emergency services at around 5 on Friday morning.
