Pirates kidnap British wife: Husband shot dead in raid on luxury Kenyan holiday resort

Pirates have murdered a British tourist and kidnapped his wife from an exclusive Kenyan resort.
David and Judith Tebbutt were attacked at night by a gang carrying guns as they stayed in a beach cottage close to the border with lawless Somalia.
Armed bandits arrived at the private resort by speedboat at midnight on Saturday, stormed into the couple’s secluded hut, which had just a piece of cloth as the door, and demanded all their money.

It is thought Mr Tebbutt, 58, who is finance director of publishers Faber and Faber, tried to stop the gang but he died from a single gunshot wound to the chest.
The pirates then forced Mrs Tebbutt, 56, into the motorboat and locals reported that they sped off north in the direction of Somalia.
The couple’s family were too upset to talk last night as they waited anxiously for further news.www.naijapaymentsonline.com
