    Judge

    Mr Justice Martin Spencer said: "We will never know exactly what happened in the back of that van. Perhaps Mr Jogiya was simply obstinate and refused to tell you [Jervis and Mcauley] what you wanted to know.

    "He would certainly have been terrified. One can only imagine the terror and torment which that poor man went through in the back of that van as the information required from him was mercilessly tortured out of him.”
