An hour after Guo's arrest, the victim was released, having been held captive in a holiday home that his captors had rented in Thursley in Surrey.The cage was so small that the victim could not stand up or stretch his legs out, the court heard. He was not allowed to use the toilet and he was only allowed to eat a little – some dried beef and biscuits on the day he was taken, and an apple and milk the next day.
