The 35-year-old man was left battered, bruised and concerned for his safety following the brutal attack by people he had once called friends after a row over missing rent money.

Yesterday, in a clear message that vigilante beatings would not be tolerated in Jersey, two of his assailants, Alex Ngila Wambua (38) and Kelvin Mwaura Ng’Ang’A (27), were sent to prison for five and four years respectively.
