“I was like... I’m gonna die here, I’m gonna die here, I’m gonna die here.”


Deering suffered a fractured nose and was left bloodied and bruised from the attack at her home in Ballajura, in Perth’s northern suburbs.
She has no idea who terrorised her, with the strangers only fleeing when they were spooked by her twin brother who arrived home.
Police said the brother was also threatened with a machete.
In an alarming twist, the property is covered in cameras, but that did not deter them.
“I haven’t even been able to walk in my bedroom,” Deering said.
“I was supposed to be applying for a job. I don’t know if I can do that.
“Mentally, I’m too scared to even drive. I think someone’s following me.”


Both attackers were wearing yellow hi-viz clothing and are described as men in their 20s.
One man was bald with neck tattoos and a slim build. The other had a solid build and brown hair.
Deering said she will not feel safe until the intruders, who made off with cash, are caught.
She has pleaded with the public to contact police with any information.
Midland detectives have released a photo of the pair’s getaway car, a blue Ford Falcon with no plates.
