On February 23, 2013 she was at Brenda-Lee Rameka's Rotorua home, where Simon Rameka was serving a home detention sentence.
Brenda-Lee Rameka told her brother the victim had stolen his money. He became angry on hearing the victim's family had Mongrel Mob connections.
He grabbed the victim, put a pillowcase over her head and forced her to sit on the kitchen floor for 16 hours, the summary said. Defence lawyers however submitted the detention was only 10 hours.
During this time, both kicked and punched her. Brenda-Lee Rameka hit her with a blunt instrument and said she was going to cut out her tongue and her eyes.
Her brother got shearing scissors or secateurs and told the victim he was going to cut her fingers off. He pressed the blades on to her hands, drawing blood. He also held a blunt instrument to the back of her heard and said "should I shoot you?' while laughing with his sister.
In the early hours of the morning when the Ramekas were asleep, the victim escaped by jumping out a window. She had suffered numerous injuries, including cuts to her finger joint.
Brenda-Lee Rameka's lawyer, Tony Balme, said his client was willing to go through a restorative justice process with her former friend, however Crown prosecutor Ngaroma Tahana said the victim was unlikely to agree to that.
Justice Fogarty refused Brenda-Lee Rameka's bail application and remanded her in custody until sentencing.
