A brutal drugs gang took over a vulnerable man's home and forced him into packaging up crack cocaine and heroin deals, making his life so unbearable he was driven to trying to take his own life.
However, the man's attempt to commit suicide alerted police to the gang's activities at his home, a court heard.
Cop inquiries uncovered the violence and exploitation he had endured at the hands of the four men in Ashby, Leicestershire, who appeared at Leicester Crown Court on March 11 to be sentenced for their crimes.
