Tortured, shot and left to rot in the back of a car

Last moments of Scots tycoon’s son

- By Robert McAuley

THE horrifying final moments of a tycoon’s son killed by a Mexican drugs cartel have been revealed to a court.

Adrian Bonar’s badly decomposed body was found stuffed in a car abandoned in the Californian desert.

A post-mortem examination revealed that the father-of-two had been tortured before being shot dead, his body wrapped in plastic and left in the boot of the Lexus.

The 34-year-old US Army veteran and another victim were abducted by gang members which, a court was told, “focuses primarily on trafficking narcotics from Mexico throughout Southern California”.

The cartel member responsible, Martin Lopez Torres believed the pair had been stealing from him.

He has since been jailed for 28 years after admitting murder as part of a plea deal.
