taking mobile monies from their phones.

armed with pistols and knife and then attacked and ordered her to show them
where she keeps her money.

handbag which contained a bunch of keys and some identification cards and
bolted.

attracted people around who chased the suspects, where Osei and Wife were
arrested.

confessed robbing the victim at gunpoint and mentioned Norvor, their
accomplice, as the one who supplied them with the arms and this led to his
arrest.
