1 Arrested In Beating Of 88-Year-Old Woman In San Jose

ABC 7 News

The elderly widow is in critical condition in a San Jose hospital after two men beat her viciously during a home invasion robbery. Her injuries were so severe, however, that she could not provide their description.  

Zachary Cuen was arrested in connection to the beating of an 88-year-old woman in San Jose, Wednesday, September 14, 2016.Investigators say two suspects, both Hispanic men, beat Flo Douglas once, then returned and beat her a second time.

Douglas is in intensive care, suffering from trauma to her face and head. A neighbor who saw her said Douglas’s eyes were swollen shut.

“If you’re going to rob somebody, rob them. Don’t beat them up, especially someone as helpless as that. It’s ridiculous. It shows a very particularly bad element to the person,” Chris Dilley, a neighbor.

Mrs. Douglas has talked to detectives from her hospital bed but could not provide detailed descriptions of the two suspects.

“It seemed like they were just tearing through the house trying to find anything of value and also the reason why took jewelry from her, just looking for anything of value and ended up stealing her car as well” explained Dep. Rich Glennon with the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office.

Several neighbors saw damage to the front fence but never realized that Douglas was lying inside, unable to call for help for most of the day.

“Gate had been hit earlier in the day, and we didn’t even notice it until later in the evening. She was in there by herself,” said Floyd Reece, another neighbor.

Neighbors estimate Douglas weighs 80 pounds and could not have defended herself.

  1. Again….. what’s the only possible motive for returning to the scene of the crime to beat her some more? SHE WAS WHITE.

    “If you’re going to rob somebody, rob them. Don’t beat them up, especially someone as helpless as that. It’s ridiculous. It shows a very particularly bad element to the person,” Chris Dilley, a neighbor.

    Agreed. They went above and beyond the call of duty here because they’re psychotic, cowardly, bigoted, wetback pieces of trash, who are here to “kill all the gringos”.

    I can’t wait to start stringing these animals up from tree limbs…. along with the traitors who imported them.
