POLICE are searching for two criminals who raped and robbed an elderly woman and beat her ailing husband in a home invasion on Saturday night.

The couple was asleep in their home in south-west Trinidad when around 11 p.m. the intruders kicked down the front door.

The 68-year-old man, who is ailing from a stroke and his 65-year-old wife, told officers they were awakened by a loud noise and moments later observed two men - one who was armed with a cutlass, in their bedroom.
