A gang used the home of a drug addict mum to torture and imprison a man for 12 hours after kidnapping him on the street. The victim was taken from outside his house in Blackley, north Manchester, then bundled into a car before bring brought to Jennifer Baker's house.

During a horrifying ordeal he was bound and gagged, had boiling water poured over his genitals and was forced to swallow tablets which he was told contained rat poison. He was warned that he'd be 'gravely injured, if not killed' if he didn't hand over a large amount of cash.

After 12 hours he was able to escape the house, having suffered serious injuries including burns. Members of the gang are due to be sentenced at a later date.
