A lot of them are digital nomads running their company from here due to the fact that it's beautiful, with the jungle, the beaches and the lifestyle.

She recalled the dreadful incident when she ran towards the noise of Tora's screams: 'The scene that I encountered in the living-room will stay with me permanently. Tora was standing on the sofa, eyelids horrifically lacerated and the worst facial injury I've ever seen.'

At the hospital, she composed: 'One of the nurses came in, and asked Adam if she could have a word with him outside. What I didn't know was that as quickly as he left the space, the cops were waiting for him and detained him, taking him off in handcuffs.

'What was currently a dreadful situation had actually increase to something inexpressible'.

She added: 'It felt like persecution, one of those police states that individuals discuss.

'Honestly, I don't believe I can ever forgive individuals responsible, although we've made every effort to ignore it, and them, as rapidly as possible.'

Nevertheless, while the social services conducted their examination, she stated, the household needed to reside in lodging where other responsible grownups were present.

She added: 'This was adding insult to severe injury and bearing in mind my gradual decline in health normally, I was truly beginning to anguish.'
