Shona told how she feared she and David would be killed.
She said: "We were terrified, absolutely terrified. People were outside chanting 'dirty beast' and the crowd just got bigger, bigger and bigger.
"The police tried to get us out at the start, but the crowd gathered so quickly it wasn't safe to move us.
