Bethlehem - A 62-year-old garage owner was killed by two housebreakers in his backyard in Bethlehem on Sunday, police reported.
Spokesperson Christopher Mophiring said Richard Reuben
Roux was found with stab wounds in the head.
Roux apparently heard the sound of a breaking window and went outside to investigate.
The two robbers hit him with a steel pipe and tied up his hands and feet, said Mophiring.
They pulled down his pants and the jersey was pulled over his head.
They stole his cellular phone, a video machine, a decoder and a CD player.
The neighbours alerted the police. Paramedics certified the man dead on arrival at the scene.
No arrest have been made.
