The scary photo which was taken by her neighbour and later shared online shows Melora hiding from the man, later identified as 29 year old vagrant Christian Hicks, who had broken into her home as she slept.
She hid on the roof and quickly called police but as she was there waiting for help, the intruder showed up on the roof with a knife looking for her. See the dramatic pictures after the cut...
Fortunately, the police arrived at her home just in time to rescue her. And they also manged to coax the intruder down too
The part time actress later told CBS LA of her ordeal;
"Once I saw him in the house, I knew that we both couldn’t be there. I knew that I didn’t want to have a confrontation with him of any sort, you know, not knowing what his intention was. My biggest fear was that he was going to be forced by the cops to come hide in basically the same place I was hiding."

ReplyDeleteonly in Developed nations will you put a call across to the police and they come to your rescue, in 9ja, first of all, network problem, if you manage to get through, am even sure if people have access to an emergency number to reach the police, but if you do, they will be asking you rubbish questions instead of swinging into action, they can even tell you their van does not have fuel to come, all these delay, the intruder must have carried out his actions and escaped, and you see them coming, medicine after death. SMH
ReplyDeleteThank God for her life.
ReplyDeleteLucky her. It happen where there system works via police
ReplyDeleteThank God for her life
ReplyDeleteHello Linda, kindly take off this Omo mouse pointer, it's annoying and is affecting the usability experience on your blog. If you are going to customize your mouse pointer, it should still have the arrow with the tip of the arrow being the active point. Thanks.
