Two women in Britain allegedly kidnapped and tortured a friend, scalding her with boiling water and kicking her, after they found out she had sex with one of their ex-boyfriends.

Lucy Viner-Mood, 22, and Lois Gibson, 18, locked Georgia Fenn in a flat in Langton Green in Kent March 28, and assaulted her for over 18 hours till she became unconcious, a court was told. The pair had discovered she had had sex with Viner-Mood's ex-boyfriend.

The accused stubbed out cigarettes all over her body, doused her in boiling water and stamped on her until she passed out. She was later thrown out of the flat.

Fenn suffered a broken nose, second-degree burns, two black eyes and was covered in blood after the assault, Sky News reported.

Judge Martin Joy of the Maidstone Crown Court described the assault as 'evil' and sentenced Viner-Mood to five years in jail and Gibson to three years in a young offender institution.
