'Grotesque' torturer kidnapped dad and poured boiling water on genitals in 12-hour ordeal

A thug has been jailed for taking part in a 'grotesque' 12-hour campaign of torture against a drug dealer who they kidnapped, assaulted and sexually humiliated.

After being snatched from the street, the victim was tied up, beaten repeatedly, had boiling water poured onto his genitals and had what he was told was rat poison forced down his throat as they demanded a six-figure cash sum.

Yesterday (Tuesday) the thug who inflicted the majority of the violence on the victim, 29-year-old Anthony Richardson, was jailed for his role in what the judge said was 'grotesque' torture.
