MISSISSAUGA — A man and woman are facing attempted murder and other charges after a man was kidnapped, tortured and left for dead in Erin Mills over the weekend.

Peel Regional Police sources say the horrific ordeal which began Saturday inside an apartment complex on Fowler Dr., near Sheridan Centre Mall, around 1:30 a.m. has ties to the city's sex trade industry.

A 22-year-old man met a woman at the apartment, but was then confronted by another man associated with the woman. He was restrained, kidnapped at gunpoint, badly beaten and, according to police sources, badly burned with hot oil, in addition to other torturing methods.

He was left badly injured and unconscious outdoors in the area of Erin Mills Pkwy. and South Millway and awoke hours later before taking himself to hospital.

Peel Const. Lilly FitzPatrick said the victim was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Heather LaFleur, 21, of Mississauga, who is known to police, has been charged with aggravated assault, kidnapping and attempted murder.

Andrew Campbell, 37, also of Mississauga, is charged with kidnapping, attempted murder, aggravated assault, possession of a dangerous weapon, carrying a concealed weapon, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a loaded firearm, careless storage of a firearm, using a firearm in the commission of an offence and pointing a firearm.

Both accused have been remanded in custody and will be in Brampton court this week for a bail hearing.

Officers are asking anyone with information to call the 11 Division Criminal Investigation Bureau at 905-453-2121, ext. 1133. Anonymous information may also be left by calling Peel Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), or by visiting www.peelcrimestoppers.ca or by sending a text message to CRIMES (274637) with the word “PEEL” and then your tip.
