Miss Susan Arthur was knocked to the ground during the course of the incident, she was taken to Letterkenny General Hospital and remained in hospital until her death on October 11, 2013.

About an hour prior to the men entering the home of the Arthur sisters, three men called to the Arthurs’ home in a small silver car asking if the sisters wanted any painting carried out, the offer was declined and the men left.

Two of these men were the men that carried out the aggravated burglary. Miss Arthur never returned home following the incident due to her injuries.

Anyone who may have any information in relation to the aggravated burglary is asked to contact Gardaí in Letterkenny on Tel 074-9167100, the Garda Confidential Line 1800-666-111 or any Garda Station.
