'Sounds like a movie': alleged torture victim denies lying about what happened inside Mount Hutton shed

Kyna McAuley is on trial accused of detaining and assaulting a woman at Mount Hutton in May, 2021.

A WOMAN who claims she was detained and tortured at Mount Hutton in 2021 has denied suggestions she lied about what happened inside a back shed and "came up with an elaborate story" to pin the assaults on Kyna McAuley.

The woman has spent the last two days giving evidence in the trial of two of her accused captors, Ms McAuley and Madden Paynter, telling the jury she was repeatedly assaulted and threatened, tied up, struck in the head with what she thought was a hammer, had her teeth knocked out, burnt with a cigarette and had boiling water poured over her head during the 24 hours she was held in the shed in Kestrel Avenue in May, 2021.
