A man was kidnapped and shot by a gang who demanded a ransom after his relative scooped a £50,000 jackpot.
The victim was blasted in the leg with a shotgun and abandoned on a dark and secluded country lane, having been held against his will for hours by masked men Carl MacDowall, Carlton Mullen and Kieran Kristensen. The thugs laughed and joked as they were handed lengthy prison terms at Liverpool Crown Court this afternoon, Thursday.
A trial previously heard that Jacob Clough-Massey was taken at gunpoint from his flat on Lakenheath Road in Halewood at around 5pm on December 15 2020. Daniel Travers, prosecuting, described how the dad was repeatedly punched in the face at his front door before a shotgun was jabbed into his chest.
