Man accused of kidnapping 20-year-old British model and then trying to sell her off as a sex slave on dark web
Kidnapper advertised the “sale” of the woman online, while at the same time demanding ransom from the woman’s agent of US$300,000
It sounded like a good opportunity for a 20-year-old British model. Come to Milan for a photo shoot.
It was set up by her UK modelling agency, supposedly for an ad campaign.
What happened next, though, is out of a horror film.
According to Italian investigators, when the woman – who has not been named to protect her privacy – arrived at a flat for the shoot, Lukasz Herba and another man injected her with Ketamine, an anaesthetic drug used to sedate horses. After she passed out, Herba and his accomplice stripped and photographed her. They then covered her head with a pillowcase, taped her mouth shut, stuffed her in a suitcase and drove her in a car boot to an isolated house about 190km outside Milan.
“Think what could would have happened if she suffered from asthma,” Italian prosecutor Paolo Storari said.
