Tourist suffers horrific injuries after fake food delivery rider barges into apartment, holds her at gunpoint, beats her and leaves her fearing she would be gang raped after calling friends to join him
- Maressa Nunes, 31, was violently attacked while staying in Santiago, Chile
A tourist has suffered horrific injuries after a fake delivery rider barged into her apartment, held her at gunpoint and beat her.
Maressa Nunes, 31, was staying in a rented apartment during her holiday in Santiago, Chile, when she was violently attacked on June 24.
Nunes and her female friend, both from Brazil, had ordered food via an app and when a man knocked on the door a bit later, they thought it was the delivery man.
But the man barged inside, overpowered the women, and called two more men to the scene.
Nunes put up a fight because she said she feared she was going to be raped. In a voice note sent to her family after the attack, Nunes said the attacker let her go after hitting her and telling his friends: 'Come on, this is too easy.'

She will now need reconstructive facial surgery after the brutal attack.
Her sister Larissa told local media: 'She has many bite marks all over her body. My sister reacted to the robbery. He put a gun in her mouth. It was a barbaric crime. They beat my sister severely.'
The three men ended up fleeing the apartment block with the women's jewellery, watches, and mobile phones.
The friend who stayed in the flat with Nunes suffered comparatively minor injuries and she was able to return home to Brazil.

But Nunes own injuries were so severe that she is still unable to go back to her home in Maringa.
Her sister explained: 'In her current condition, she can't take a regular flight. She risks haemorrhaging during a normal flight. She needs a medical team on board.'
Nunes' family went to Chile in a bid to bring her back home.
However, just one day after arriving, Larissa herself was mugged on the street by a passing motorcyclist.
She said: 'We just want to leave. Get out of this nightmare and take care of Maressa.'
The local police is investigating the brutal attack. No suspects have been arrested.
