Florida man guilty of kidnapping, torturing plastic surgeon

The 56-year-old could face up to life in prison after he and another man used a blow torch on the doctor.

MIAMI — A federal jury convicted a man of kidnapping the plastic surgeon who had treated his wife and torturing him with a blow torch to get money from him.

Federal prosecutors had brought the case against 56-year-old Serge Nkorina, who was found guilty of conspiring to commit kidnapping and kidnapping earlier this week. Nkorina could face up to life in prison at his sentencing hearing in February.

Nkorina’s attorney, Omar F. Guerra Johansson, said the defendant intends to appeal the verdict.

“This case was a hard fought trial, and the jury deliberated for four hours,” he said in a statement.

Assistant U.S. attorneys Robert F. Moore and Marc Chattah said Nkorina and another man, who already pleaded guilty, plotted to kidnap the plastic surgeon. Prosecutors said they placed a GPS tracker on the bottom of his car, bought devices from hardware and medical supply stores and rented a storage container in Margate, Florida.

Heck just two weeks ago a creep ran into a crowd celebrating a Christmas parade. Don’t get more evil then that. Hint: it wasn’t Florida.
