A robber wrapped a Muslim woman in a carpet and set fire to her after he raided her home.
The attacker gained entry to the woman’s Westminster flat by claiming to be an inspector from her local council, but once inside he bashed her and tied her up before stealing thousands of pounds worth of valuables. As he left, he wrapped her in a carpet and set it alight, telling her: “This is your Eid present, you Muslim.”
The woman, aged in her 40s, was saved by neighbours who broke into her flat after hearing her screams.
