A woman who was brutally tortured, sexually assaulted and held captive for 10 hours has bravely spoken out after her depraved attacker was jailed for more than two decades.
Tommy Hitt, 46, from Sutton Veny in Wiltshire, was sentenced to 21 years and six months in prison at Winchester Crown Court on June 13 for a string of vile domestic violence and sexual offences.
The woman, who has chosen to remain anonymous, harrowingly told of how she was 'dying that night' and believes she would have been murdered if she hadn't escaped.
Hitt's terrified victim was subjected to a relentless 10-hour nightmare on February 21 this year, during which he kept her prisoner at his home, repeatedly assaulted her, used a blow torch on her, and forcibly shaved her head.
She suffered lasting damage to her face, eyes, teeth and arm – and has now released harrowing photos of her injuries through Wiltshire Police in a bid to help others who may be suffering in silence.
