A father and son are among the eight defendants accused of attacking a woman found "in a bloodied, tortured and beaten state" in a flat in Dublin last week.

Dublin District Court has heard that a "makeshift blowtorch", heated hammerheads, iron bars, and a stick were used to injure and beat her around her head and body after she was brought to a north inner city flat last Thursday.
