Three Muslims with ‘political and religious motivation’ lured Israeli DJ to Welsh farmhouse and tied him to a radiator but were caught after he freed himself by sliding along pipe

Three bungling kidnappers lured an Israeli musician to a remote cottage in Wales with financial, political and religious motives, a court heard.

Faiz Shah, 23, Mohammad Comrie, 23, and Elijah Ogunnubi-Sime, 20, carefully planned the kidnap of Jewish composer Itay Kashti who described the ordeal as ‘my own personal October 7.’

Falsely claiming to be a Polydor Records executive, the three friends invited Mr Kashti to a music event which would be attended by music producers and other musicians.
