A teenager was kidnapped, tortured with a lighter and told he had been injected with heroin in a flat in Weybridge in revenge for the theft of drugs and cash, a court has heard.

Abdul Hassan, 18, from Ashford, was bundled into a car by four members of a drugs gang in Ashford High Street on January 17 this year after he had stolen drugs, a large amount of cash and a phone from one of the members, Guildford Crown Court was told.

Andrew Moore, 41, of Barnfield Gardens in Kingston, and Agon Metrama, 21, of Garlinge Road, Kilburn, are on trial charged with conspiracy to kidnap and false imprisonment.

Three other people have entered guilty pleas, while one person is still at large.

Abigail Husbands, prosecuting, said Mr Hassan, who was 17 and living with his parents at the time, had told his family he was going to the nearby shops.

Ms Husbands said a couple saw a young man seemingly try to escape from a black Seat at about 7.45pm.

She said: “He was then chased by two men who got out of that vehicle. They got him to the ground and he was punched and bundled into the car, and the car swung around in a u-turn.”

The court heard his alleged kidnappers, said to include Scott Beecham, 39, of Tolworth Rise in Surbiton, and Mr Moore, then drove to a flat in Gateway, Weybridge.

Ms Husbands said Adam Woods, a heroin addict who slept in and used the black Seat Leon hired by the gang and was staying at the flat that evening, saw the men take Mr Hassan into one of the bedrooms.

The court was told Mr Hassan was subjected to torture and humiliation, with moans and screams heard coming from a bedroom where Dalmer Saleh, 24, of Manchester Drive, Ladbroke Grove, was said to have been staying.

Ms Husbands said: “This was presumably to find out the location of drugs that had gone missing or to teach him a message.”

She said naked pictures of Mr Hassan were taken to humiliate him.

She said: “He was made to stand on a chair while Mr Saleh held a lighter to his hands. When he flinched from the lighter [another person] would punch him.”

She said Mr Saleh told him he “would be a smackhead by the end of the night” while Mr Hassan told them he would “do anything to work off the debt”.

Ms Husbands said Mr Saleh then stabbed a clean needle into Mr Hassan’s leg, leading him to believe he had been injected with heroin. It later transpired there was nothing in the syringe.

The court heard Mr Metrama, who is accused of organising the kidnap, was driven to the flat by his sister at about 10pm before allegedly joining the others in bundling Mr Hassan into the boot. The group drove to London before Mr Hassan managed to escape.

Police raided the Weybridge flat the next afternoon after witnesses told them about the alleged kidnap, and various elements of DNA were found, including a bloodied t-shirt of Mr Hassan’s that Mr Woods was reportedly told to destroy by the gang.

A statement from Mr Hassan’s sister, Fatima, was read in court today, describing when she saw her brother on January 18 after he went missing.

She said: “His whole face was really bad, I could barely recognise him and his hands were really burnt. You could see where the skin came off.

“He was usually very talkative but he was very quiet.”

Mr Moore was arrested on January 27 while Mr Metrama handed himself into police a day later after the other alleged group members were arrested on January 18.

Scott Beecham and Dalmer Saleh both entered guilty pleas on July 20 to charges of conspiracy to kidnap and false imprisonment.

Mathew Hempel, 36, of West Road in Chessington, who lived at the flat in Weybridge with his girlfriend Kelly Richardson, entered a guilty plea to false imprisonment on July 20.

Miss Richardson, 33, of Gateway, Weybridge, was acquitted of two counts of witness or juror intimidation on July 20.

The trial continues.
