The New Entrepreneurs

In these tough economic times... you've just gotta "think outside of the box"...
A Brampton man has been given a six-year prison sentence for subjecting a college student to what a judge described as a terrifying "night of torture."

Roman Stehniy, 36, led the nightmarish persecution of a bound Milin Janic, 26, in the basement of his home for more than five hours – cutting off a baby toe, striking him with a baseball bat and threatening to set fire to him.

RELATED: In other Brampton business news...
Four men have been arrested after a 58-year-old Mississauga man was abducted and held at ransom in a horrific three-day ordeal.

The victim's family received several threatening phone calls after the man failed to come home Monday evening. The kidnappers demanded money in exchange for his safe return.

Guramrit Sidhu, 45, of Mississauga, Tarinder Saggi, 32, of Markham, and Manpreet Padda, 25, and Balbir Thind, 45, both of Brampton, are all charged with kidnapping.

FROM THE COMMENTS: Quoth the Toronto "Red" Star...
"The facts of this case are that you carried out a night of torture purely for commercial gain."

I guess if it was torture 'just for fun' that he would have only got 3 years.

Sigh.
