Three thugs have been locked up for abducting a teenager in the boot of a car before he was thrown from the second floor of a car park.

Terrified Hakim Tusiime escaped with a broken wrist, a twisted ankle and a swollen cheek.

Jermaine Haye, 20, who has a previous conviction for wounding with intent, was sentenced to an indeterminate term of youth custody after a judge found he was a danger to the public.

Haye will not be considered for release until he has served a minimum of two-and-a-half years.

Frank Onakoya, 25, was jailed for five years and Oliver Charles, 21, for four years.

All three, who live in London, admitted false imprisonment. Onakoya, son of a church minister, and Haye, also admitted kidnapping.

They all denied causing grievous bodily harm with intent and the charge was left on court file because up to 15 people had been involved in the incident.

Maidstone Crown Court heard that Mr Tusime, 18, was walking in Pattens Gardens, Rochester, on April 10 last year, when he was attacked and bundled into the boot of a car.

He was later thrown from the roof of a car park, though its location was not known.

The court heard the Crown was not in a position to prove a motive for the offences.
