A twisted couple inflicted a horror torture campaign on two women, holding them hostage, setting one’s hair on fire and forcing the other to drink urine.

The ordeal started when the first victim was taken hostage after being saddled with a drug debt after her boyfriend ran off.

Imaan Coley moved herself into the woman’s home between May and August 2023, stopped her from leaving, threw out her mattress and made her sleep on the floor.

The 37-year-old also allowed her toyboy lover Mohammed Khan, 24, to use the home as a drug supply base.

Over the next few months, the victim — who was disabled — was viciously assaulted including being punched, slapped and having her hair set on fire.

She was forced to eat scraps from the bin and watch on while Coley’s dogs ate a full meal.

She also had bleach forcible forced down her throat after being told it was vodka and refusing to drink it.

But worse was to come.

The evil Birmingham couple stormed the home of another woman after Khan took a disliking to her.

And on August 12, 2023, depraved Coley and her sick lover completely humiliated the women.

“What was done over at least the next four hours or so ... was horrific,” Birmingham Crown Court Judge Peter Cooke said while sentencing the couple on Tuesday.

“Previously, I have used the word torture. I don’t resile from that. It was the most appalling display of cruelty.”

The second victim was twice forced to take showers and strip while her body piercings were removed in “circumstances of extreme humiliation”.

She had cat food smeared on her face, was forced to drink floor cleaner and had her nose broken.

Then in the most vile aspect of the whole humiliating episode, Coley and Khan forced the first woman to urinate into the other’s mouth.

The warped couple then emptied the second victim’s flat, including taking her three cats.

Coley was jailed for 14 years and Khan was put behind bars for 11 years.
