Last moments of Scots tycoon’s son
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.

Why I'm gunning for litter louts
IT’S kind of an unwritten rule among newspaper columnists: never name, or quote, another newspaper columnist. Even if he or she has written something really good. In fact, ESPECIALLY if they have written something really good. Plough your own furrow. Stick to your own field.
