Court documents have revealed one of the suspects in the alleged kidnapping of a Chinese national in the Toronto area last month intended to demand a ransom for the man’s return.

Documents obtained by CTV Toronto allege Abdullahi Adan, a suspect who turned himself in overnight following a nationwide warrant for his arrest, “did kidnap Wanzhen Lu with intent to hold him for ransom against his will… and did without authority unlawfully confine Wanzhen Lu.”

Three days later, Lu was found alive in Gravenhurst, Ont., a town in Ontario’s cottage country located approximately 160 kilometres north of where the student disappeared. He suffered only minor injuries in the incident and has since been reunited with his family. “We have found out that a ransom demand was made in this investigation, later on in the investigation though,” Const. Andy Pattenden with York regional police told CTV Toronto.Adan, 37, appeared in court in Newmarket, Ont. for a bail hearing on Tuesday morning. He is facing four criminal charges including kidnapping, forcible confinement, assault with a weapon and assault.
