A gang of kidnappers who held a man hostage and cut off his little finger when his family could not pay the £60,000 ransom were jailed today for a total of 152 years.
Victim Damien Lowe was abducted on a street in Coventry at gunpoint and bundled into a van where a group of ten masked men kept him without food or water for 31 hours.
When his family initially failed to pay the money his kidnappers demanded, the gang chopped off his finger and left it under a brick on a garden wall for his panicked relatives to find.
The kidnappers were sentenced at Leamington Justice Centre today.
Mr Lowe, 26, from Coventry, West Midlands, said: ‘The moment they pulled up next to me in their van in balaclavas and bundled me into the back was the most terrifying experience of my life.
‘It was so brutal I don’t know how I survived. When it first happened I had no idea what was going on.
‘The van was going all over the place I didn’t have a chance to try and think where I was.
‘When they took my phone and got me to find my brother’s number I didn’t know what they were going to do.
‘I thought I was going to die there and then. When they told me I had to ask for £60,000 ransom I was almost relieved.
‘But I knew there was no way my family would be able to pay and I thought I’d never see them again.
‘My kidnappers kept disappearing and then coming back, always to beat me, harder and harder.
When they came in and covered my face I knew something bad was going to happen.
‘That was when they cut my finger off. The pain was unbelievable and I was just crying out and then they just beat me again.
Mr Lowe was kidnapped from a street near his home on the afternoon of September 30 2014.
