She said she shouted, “Jesus save me,” and he released her.
“After they had run off I stood up and tried to run but one of the bandits grabbed my hand and I started shouting “Jesus save me” and he let go of my hand.
“He then picked up a heavy stick and tried to strike me but I shouted again “Jesus save me.” He stopped, dropped the stick and instead took the bag I was carrying”
