A jealous student and her friends kidnapped an innocent woman before driving her to a secluded area and attacking her. Best friends Nadia Gubran and Alya Dahshan, both aged 21, plotted to abduct the victim, who Gubran suspected was exchanging Snapchat messages with a man she was interested in.

They recruited another woman, Layla Obad, 20, to help carry out the terrifying ambush. The gang tracked the 23-year-old victim to her workplace on the evening of March 21 of last year, before following her in Gubran's Volkswagen Golf as she made her way down Hartington Road, Liverpool.

They grabbed her from behind and pulled her hood over her face before dragging her into the car and pinning her to the back seat.

Her phone was seized and she was interrogated by Gubran, who forced her to hand over her PIN, the Liverpool ECHO reports.

"Gubran was described as really aggressive and intimidating towards the victim, making threats that she knew where she lived and that there were people in the area that would be watching her." They drove to a secluded, wooded area near Sefton Park Palm House, where the victim was pushed into the bushes and punched and kicked in the head by Gubran and Dahshan.
