The offender was found guilty of kidnapping, extortion, using an imitation firearm, administering a noxious substance, aggravated assault, fraud, and failing to comply with probation.
The victim was held for 12-14 hours, extorted, and tortured with boiling liquid, resulting in severe burns.
The Crown sought 12 years, while the defence sought 7-8 years.
The court imposed a global sentence of 10 years, reduced from 11 years due to mitigating factors including harsh pre-sentence custody conditions (lockdowns and COVID-19) and restrictive bail conditions.
After applying Summers credit, the remaining sentence was 7 years and 3 months.
