She said that one of the men was about 5ft 9ins tall with a thin build and narrow face, and appeared to be very tanned or yellow in colour, as though he had jaundice. She said that he was clean shaven and was wearing a blue or black jumper with a yellow motif on the left-hand side.

She had been out shopping before the attack and was last seen in Budgens at 3.30pm.
