The relatives of a woman who has been missing for 11 days after she was beaten with a baseball bat and driven away in her own car are still desperately searching for her across Dubai.Kerry Winter, 35, has not been seen or heard of since she was brutally attacked outside her rented villa in Al Barsha on August 20.Witnesses say she was struck over the head with the bat and was bleeding before being forced into a vehicle and driven off.

Despite police confirming they have a man in custody in connection with her disappearance, there has been no trace since of the missing South African, who has been working in Dubai for the past seven years as an events manager.A British national is under arrest and being interrogated by officers over her disappearance.Kerry's son-in-law David Giles, who arrived in the UAE last week from Johannesburg to help search for her, told 7DAYS: "Kerry is still missing and we are still searching for her. "We know she was assaulted outside her home and suffered severe head injuries. The suspect drove off with Kerry in her own car, a dark silver Ford Explorer with Dubai registration 86914. "Although police have a man in custody there is no information concerning Kerry's whereabouts. We're still hopeful of finding her and are appealing for anyone with any information whatsoever to let us know so we can help locate her."David added: "We have spoken to her friends and searched for her car in the city's malls. People have looked on golf courses and canals while we have also appealed online for news. We have also set up a 'Help Us Find Kerry' group on Facebook."Scores of messages of support have been left on the site praying for Kerry and her family, while her brother Kurt has praised the expat community for offering their help and advice.

"It's been an incredibly frustrating time for us not knowing where she is and what has happened. We would urge anyone who knows anything to please let us know where she is. We cannot thank everyone enough for their help. Strangers have been brilliant to us. But please help us find Kerry," Kurt said.

A spokesman for the South African embassy in Dubai said they were aware of the case but could not comment on Kerry's disappearance.Anyone with any information is urged to contact Dubai Police or Kurt on 050 103 5904.
