Ill Brit hostages refusing to eat or drink, say Somali pirates | A British couple kidnapped by Somali pirates in the Indian Ocean are ill and refusing to eat or drink, according to the Somali pirates who have captured them. Paul
and Rachel Chandler were taken hostage from their yacht Lynn Rival on October
23. The pirates are asking for a ransom of 4.2 million pounds for releasing the
couple, who hail from Tunbridge Wells , Kent . The Chandlers were sailing from
the Seychelles towards Tanzania when they were kidnapped, reports The Times. They
became ill from infected food or water. Awali, one of the pirates, said: “Sometimes
they will not speak to us, and sometimes they refuse to eat or drink. They have
serious health problems. The woman is vomiting often.” After they were taken into
Somalian waters, the couple were moved on to a container ship, the Kota Wajar,
which had been captured by the pirates. |
