Members of an armed gang which kidnapped and brutally tortured a man for 27 hours have been imprisoned for between 25 and six years.
At a flat in Cardiff the victim was waterboarded, beaten and forced to ask friends to provide a £50,000 ransom, while being threatened with guns and knives.
He was taken to another stronghold in Hertfordshire where the horrifying ordeal continued. He was eventually rescued by armed police.
