DRIFTING in and out of consciousness after being struck in the head in the back shed of a home at Mount Hutton, an alleged torture victim claims she heard the whistle of a kettle before feeling "indescribable pain".
The woman on Thursday gave evidence in the trial of two of her accused captors, Kyna McAuley and Madden Paynter, telling a jury she was repeatedly assaulted and threatened, tied up, struck in the head with something hard, 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.
