TWO pensioners will receive bravery awards after preventing a murder.

Thuan Dinh, 53, tried to strangle and stab ex-wife Lien, 50, at nail bar VCC Boutique in Tonbridge, Kent, where she worked.

He had been issued with a restrainin­g order the day before the attack.

Judge Philip St JohnSteven­s praised brave Katherine Jordan, 65, and Roger Trask, 75, saying the pair had “undoubtedl­y saved her life”.

They wrestled Dinh away, allowing Lien to escape, before sitting on him until officers arrived.

Both will receive a High Sheriff Award for Bravery.

Dinh was jailed for 28 years for attempted murder at Maidstone crown court.
