A Colombian model has been arrested for kidnapping and torturing one of her colleagues after a bitter war of words on social media turned violent.
The suspect, 21-year-old Yeimi Rey, was detained in the airport of capital city Bogota on her way out of the country to Miami.
Yeimi and her sister Claudia both have a warrant out for their arrest since fellow model, Carolina Munoz, reported them for kidnapping and torturing her.

According to Munoz, the sisters had attacked her in an act of revenge after she opened false social media accounts and posted unflattering photos of them before plastic surgery procedures.
She describes how on the 31st January 2015, they bundled her into a car and: 'They bit me, tortured me, they pulled my hair, cut off my clothes, they left me bald, they electrocuted me.
'They told me they were going to kill me, that they knew very powerful people and wouldn't be sent to jail, that I was the one who would end up losing and next time they will throw acid on my face and destroy my life.'
Munoz also reports how the girls robbed her and published naked photos of her afterwards on social media.
According to local media, as the sisters left their abandoned victim in the street they crashed into another car and police arrived on the scene and arrested them, although they were set free shortly afterwards.
Munoz admits to creating the false Twitter accounts to shame the sisters, but claims in her defence that this was also to get back at them for negative comments they had published about her online.
After a lengthy legal battle, Yeimi has finally been arrested and will now answer for the allegations made against her.
Claudia remains at large with a warrant out for her capture.
