Mum lost two fingers and partner had leg amputated after horror machete attack at home

A couple suffered horrific injuries after being attacked by gangsters with machetes in their own home over what's believed to be an unpaid six-figure debt. The male victim was so badly injured he had to have his right leg amputated while his partner lost two fingers on her left hand when she was hurt as she tried to call police, the Daily Record reports.
