'15 people arrested' over reality star's horrifying gunpoint ordeal

The reality star was in her hotel when the ordeal took place
The 36-year-old was alone on Sunday 2nd October when robbers broke into her Paris apartment.
She is said to have tried to call her long-time bodyguard Pascal Duvier, who was out with her sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner at a nightclub.
However, it was reported that one of the robbers snatched the phone out of her hands before the call went through before they bound her hands and feet with duct tape.
According to PEOPLE, the mother-of-two was able to free herself by "wriggling her hands" out of the restraints after five men dragged her out of bed and put her in the bath.

Kim has kept a relatively low-profile following her horrific ordeal
An unnamed source explained: "Kim was tied up, and gagged with duct tape wrapped around her head. They put plastic ties around her wrists but she managed to squeeze her hands out of the wrist ties by wriggling her hands.
"She was hysterical but not screaming as she knew she had to keep quiet to survive.
"The reports of her fear of being raped are real. She really did think she was going to be raped. She had a gun to her head the whole time."
Kim's friend Simone Harouche, who was asleep in the hotel is believed to have locked herself in the bathroom and alerted Pascal about the incident.
