Two men have been accused of raping and torturing a mum before burning her alive, in a sickening court case. 

Both men, William McFall and Stephen Unwin deny murdering 28-year-old Quyen Ngoc Nguyen in August 2017. 

The body Ms Nguyen, from Vietnam, was found in a burning vehicle in Shiney Row, Houghton-le-Spring, on August last year.

The jury was told how the pair demanded Ms Nguyen to give them her PIN to bank cards and they withdrew a total of £1,000 before she was killed. 

Both men deny murder and the trial continues.
