The 99-year-old Brooklyn woman who escaped from violent home invaders in an episode that left her husband dead told family she forgives her captors, just as an NYPD dragnet tries to reign in the suspects.
"The officers entered her apartment and found her 91-year-old husband tied up and lying on the floor," NYPD Deputy Chief Michael Kemper said at a press conference."He was unresponsive."
“She came running out but she never ran to me like this," Paul Peterson of Bed-Stuy said."She said somebody just tied me and my husband up and robbed us and said please use your phone.”Neighbors say the couple lived on the street for decades, and they were often seen sitting in their garden, waving to passersby.
Every morning, Ethlin would carry out a chair for her husband so he could sit and shake hands with neighbors as they left for work, another neighbor told the Times. They took care of the property together. “When I saw that, ‘Oh my God,’” she said. “It breaks me heart to see my uncle died, he was like a father to me, he grew me up in Jamaica.”
