I can understand this seems heartless and cruel.
But I also understand the fear that led to this. The couple may be old, or may have been robbed, or may have thought a scheme to get into the house.
I'm thinking if they knew the woman the outcome would have been different.
Me, living by myself, I probably would have done the same thing.
