A suspected home invader inflicted life-threatening stab wounds on an elderly couple at a rural NSW property, which was shot by one of the residents before emergency services arrived. The couple, Keith Blessing, 75, and wife Di, were at their Torrington property when Joshua Dylan Trethewey, 34, allegedly forced entry into the home, stabbing the woman in the chest and slashing the man across the abdomen. Keith grabbed a knife from the kitchen and wounded Trethewey, who retreated to the verandah. The home owner called Triple Zero, loaded a rifle, and shot the younger man in the stomach when he attempted to re-enter the house. The couple was airlifted to Gold Coast University Hospital in a critical condition. Joshua Dylan Trethewey, 34, has been charged with two counts of wounding with intent to murder and will face court once he's medically cleared. Keith and Di Blessing underwent emergency surgery on Thursday. The crime scene has been established at the property, and an investigation into the circumstances leading to the alleged home invasion is under way.
