A healthcare worker, who allegedly held a woman against her will in his car with duct tape, and threw chilli powder into her eyes while making threats to kill her, has been refused bail.

A bail hearing was told on Wednesday the woman had to appease him by making a video admitting she gave him a sexually transmitted disease (STD) from a kiss previously.
