Recently Judith Tebbutt, an English tourist staying at a remote Kenyan resort was kidnapped. The resort is being held and questioned by ruthless Somali pirates in an unknown location of the country where laws are considered void. Conspiracy expert and editor for the Somalian Report, Andrew Mwangura states that the gangs from Southern Somalia took Tebbutt up the coast and have moved her several times since. It's believed that she was abducted by an armed soldier from a lodge in a remote safari near the border of the country. While the attack occurred, her husband resisted and was killed by one of the pirates. Only one man thus far has been charged with being in connection with the case. Babitu Kololo was suspected of being a part of the kidnapping- however he pleaded not guilty to both counts against him. Another man, Issa Sheck Saadi, is will appear in court as well in the near future. No demands were made thus far for the people captured. The details of the incident have been sketchy, and people are looking to journalists to find answers. This is not the first time the Somali pirates have done this before. They are known for attacking commercial boats and ships in the big shipping lanes between Europe and Asia. Although they have been pirating for years they have never kidnapped anybody. Authorities wait to see what the pirates' next step is from here. We wish all of the innocent the best in being returned safely back to their homes.
