Freed kidnap boy arrives back in UK

19:05, Mar 18 2010

 

The five-year-old boy freed by kidnappers in Pakistan after his family paid a £110,000 ransom has returned home to the UK.

Sahil Saeed was on holiday with his father, Raja Naqqash Saeed, and other relatives in Jhelum in the Punjab region when he was snatched by gunmen on March 4.

His kidnapping prompted an international police operation, involving his father handing over a £110,000 ransom to the suspected kidnappers in Paris and the arrest of five people, three of whom were due to appear in court in Spain today.

After handing over the ransom, his father returned to Pakistan, where he was reunited with his son.

The pair flew into Manchester Airport from Islamabad on Thursday night.
