Tortured Scot's missing body parts may have been mailed to rival gangsters as warning - The Daily Record: "James Ross, 26, suffered horrific injuries during a 13-day kidnap ordeal on the Algarve, Portugal.
The dad-of-two lost an ear, two fingers and three toes over an alleged £10,000 drug debt.
Latest reports claim he also had a testicle sliced off.
Cops believe the British gang responsible for the mutilation sent the bloody pieces to rival gangs in a bid to scare them off.
A police source said: 'These people want to show who is in charge and let others know they are not to be crossed.
'It is likely they planned to kill him slowly but they also wanted to send out a message.
'Receiving a finger in the post shows anyone trying to move on to your patch that you mean business.'
Ross is set to undergo plastic surgery in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon this week following the Reservoir Dogs-style torture.
He was kidnapped at Faro airport on October 5 and tortured at a villa on the Algarve.
But Ross, from Wick, Caithness, escaped after four Brits were held over an alleged cannabis ring.
Cops were already searching for him after his wife received threatening calls from the kidnappers. Ross was found bleeding in the street in the village of Boliqueime last Monday.
Cops, who didn't get a warrant to search the villa where he was held until Friday, spent hours inside the house at the weekend.
They found chunks of flesh and hair, pools of blood and torture tools.
They also brought in ground radar to scour the garden for clues.
The device allows a picture to be built up of what may be buried underground without having to dig up any earth.
UK police used the radar to search for victims of serial killer Peter Tobin."
