As the search for kidnapped couple Derrick and Claribel Tardieu continued yesterday, Opposition MP Marvin Gonzales called on Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to explain what she meant by calling the US$2.5 million ransom demand “fishy,” saying the comment was “insensitive.”
Police reported that Tardieu, 70, a businessman, and his 47-year-old wife were snatched from their Blanchette Bay, Monos Island home on Saturday night.
A family friend received a distressing voice note from a cellphone with a Colombian registration number informing them of the kidnapping around 9.44 pm. The message, which came from Derrick Tardieu, said, “Dey have meh and want 2.5 million US for meh release.”
