Missing woman had kneecaps broken with seven iron during torture, court hears

A missing businesswoman had her kneecaps broken with a golf club during a torture session, a murder trial heard today.

David Parker, 38, told police that Lynda Spence, who disappeared in April 2011, was held at his flat in West Kilbride, Ayrshire, after he was offered £1,500.

At the flat, she was burned with a steam iron and hit with a golf club while bound to a chair and wearing glasses with black tape on them, the High Court in Glasgow heard.
