Three Erin fishermen, including Daniel Abraham, who were kidnapped in Venezuela late Thursday, have been released, but four other men have now been abducted and their captors are demanding a US$20,000 ransom for their safe return.
The newly kidnapped men were identified only by their aliases—K-man, Plaits, Keebwey and Adecat. A relative of one of the men, who asked to remain anonymous for safety, confirmed the ransom demand.
“They want US$20,000 or they say the men won’t come back,” the relative said. “A boat owner already went to drop the money. Everybody just praying they release them.”
