Story here. Excerpt:

'A 19-year-old girl was tortured for 13 hours by two women after she was wrongly accused of stealing a mobile phone.
...
During the horrific attack, Raby and her friend Kelly Louise Garrity, 26, punched, burned, kicked and stabbed McNamara before locking her in a cupboard.

The two women hacked off McNamara's long black hair and forced her to lick her own blood off the floor.
...
Katie's injuries were so severe her mother Denise didn't even recognise her in the hospital bed.
...
Garrity was sentenced to four years in prison and Raby 40 months in a young offenders' institution after both pleading guilty.'

My comment was erased off the times online page, but it was about how the cell phone is becoming a second self, a little black book, diary, music, etc. With the ability to make you feel lost and exposed if it's stolen. I think there will be more incident like this in the future.
