Three men accused of torturing woman who was allegedly burned with 'makeshift blowtorch' refused bail

The court heard that gardaí found a woman bleeding heavily from severe injuries, reportedly resulting from a brutal assault involving multiple forms of violence including scalding and stabbing.

In a disturbing account, it was revealed that a deodorant can and lighter were allegedly used as a makeshift blowtorch during the attack, significant in demonstrating the severeness of the violence involved.

Despite fresh bids for bail, the High Court upheld the previous remand, reflecting the serious nature of the charges, including assault causing harm and false imprisonment.

Four additional men are also being held in connection to the incident, highlighting an ongoing investigation with multiple suspects involved in the assault and false imprisonment of the woman.
