The woman was alone in her house in Jalan Delima, Taman Paka Wangsa, when she was awakened by noises coming from the kitchen.

State CID deputy chief Superintendent Khairi Ahrasa said when she went to check, she was confronted by the man, who had a scarf over his face.

He threatened her with a knife and told her to hand over her gold chains and handphone.
