"Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said a couple in their 60s was terrorized by an intruder in their home in the 100 block of Copley Road in Upper Darby at about 8 p.m.
Chitwood said the suspect demanded money from the female resident as she exited the bathroom. When her husband, identified as 60-year-old Hoa Pham, exited the bedroom, the suspect fatally struck him with a blunt instrument.
Pham's wife was apparently assaulted, then bound and gagged before being raped and stabbed repeatedly, police said."
