Sentencing Dumbuya, Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke said he was “involved in the supply of cocaine” and acted as a “paid enforcer” using “serious violence and weapons” on behalf of organised crime groups.

“You had been recruited to use force and terror,” she said, adding his role was to recover drugs which had gone missing and he was due to be paid £5,000 for his part in the plan.

Judge Lloyd-Clarke said Dumbaya had put his foot on Mr Hudd’s chest, pressing down “so hard that it was hard for him to breathe”.

She added when police found him he was in possession of a crowbar, a sawn-off shotgun and a phone with a video taken by one of the three men during the attack.

Judge Lloyd-Clarke said there was a “significant degree of planning” and it was a “prolonged and persistent assault” involving “dangerous” driving.

Dumbuya pleaded guilty to five charges including possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and dangerous driving. He pleaded not guilty to a sixth charge of aggravated burglary, which will lie on file.

He was sentenced to a total of 14 years and five months in prison.

He was also was ordered to pay a £228 surcharge within 12 months and was disqualified from driving.
