She denies charge saying she was watching TV and playing on phone

Mr Blythe woke up with multiple injuries to 28 different parts of his body

Kelly Ann Raisbeck allegedly said Adam Blythe, 34, was a child rapist before he was savagely beaten

A homeless man was savagely beaten with a drill, a golf club and a rock in a sock by sadistic thugs after a woman falsely claimed he was a child rapist, a court heard.

Adam Blythe, 34, had his face smashed in by brothers, Gavin and Wayne Deluen, after they took him from a doorway and back to the home of Kelly Ann Raisbeck in Blyth, Northumberland.

The group had been drinking when Raisbeck, 22, made the allegation that he was a paedophile and said he had been 'done for raping two little boys', Newcastle Crown Court was told.

Mr Blythe said he could not remember what happened next but woke up in hospital several hours later with injures to 28 different parts of his body and having been defecated on.

He had been hit so hard with a golf club it snapped, his legs were punctured with a drill and a spirit level had been used to fracture his skull, cheek and eye socket.

The victim also had bleeding on the brain, a collapsed lung, a broken hand, multiple cuts and bruises and marks to his neck suggesting electric cable had been tied around.

The Deluens, who have admitted the charges, then dragged him unconscious and bleeding into a cupboard, where he was abandoned.

Raisbeck, who had been in a relationship with Wayne Deluen, 25, has denied joining in on the attack, despite claims by Gavin Deluen, 23, that the three of them took turns to assault the man.

Giving evidence against her he said the brothers had felt sorry for Mr Blythe and invited him back for a few drinks.

He told the court: 'She [Raisbeck] said Mr Blythe was a nonce and had been done for raping two little boys.

'Him and my brother started wrestling so I panicked and went to get a golf club and hit him on the back of the legs.

'The club broke in two but I carried on hitting him with the snapped bit like a cosh.

'Wayne was stamping and kicking Mr Blyth and Kelly Ann stamped on his head three or four times when he was lying on his back trying to cover his face.

'I'm not saying she caused him serious harm. I accept full responsibility for what I did but Kelly Ann definitely assaulted him.'

The three men went back to Raisbeck's home on George Street in Blyth where Adam Blythe was attacked

Deluen, who denied Raisbeck's claim he urinated on the victim, said his brother hit Mr Blythe with a rock in a sock and a drill while he smashed his cheek bone in him with a spirit level.

He added: 'At no point did he drill Mr Blythe as Kelly Ann has speculated. He threw it at him and started hitting him and the drill bit pierced him.

'Mr Blythe was in a lot of pain. We either dragged him or threw him in a cupboard. I hit him with the level and Wayne hit him with the drill and Kelly Ann kicked him in the head a few more times.

Raisbeck, who had been in a relationship with Wayne Deluen, 25, is accused of taking turns in beating Mr Blythe at her former home in the town

'We took turns. I know it sounds horrible but we took turns. I'm ashamed and disgusted with myself.

'Even if the allegations against him had been true I should not have acted that way. I've pleaded guilty and I'm truly sorry.'

The victim was known to sleep in the doorway of what used to be a Blockbuster store, in Blyth.

He was well-known in the area and people would sometimes take him into their homes to give him food and drink, jurors were told.

Around midnight on February 8, 2014, he was approached by the Deluen brothers, who had been drinking and taking drugs, and invited back for drinks at Raisbeck's home, which he accepted.

Prosecutors claim Raisbeck told lies to police when arrested and changed her story.

James Adkin told jurors: 'She was asked what she did during the violence and said she watched TV as there was a radio music channel on and was playing on her phone.

'She claimed she then went upstairs and fell asleep. She claimed she thought she was witnessing a murder.'

The prosecutor said the attack may have started because Raisbeck allegedly lied about Mr Blythe.

He said: 'Gavin Deluen said Raisbeck took him and his brother to one side and told them she had looked up Mr Blythe on the internet and discovered he was a sex offender.

'In fact that was not true, there is nothing about him being a sex offender online and he is not a sex offender.'

He continued: 'What exactly happened to him and how he got in that condition are issues you will be invited to consider.

'The prosecution say there were three people involved in beating Mr Blythe and this defendant, Kelly Raisbeck, was one of them.

'Their precise motivation remains opaque but there is no doubt the violence inflicted had a sadistic element to it.

Wayne and Gavin Deluen have admitted the charges while Raisbeck denies inflicting grievous bodily harm

'As well as the violence, Mr Blythe had been urinated and defecated on.'

Raisbeck denies inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent while Gavin Deluen and Wayne Deluen both admit the charge and will be sentenced after Raisbeck's trial.
