The family of pilot Daniel Kawall, 59, who was rescued on September 7, four days after he was kidnapped, has thanked the police for their role in his rescue.

Kawall, a Caribbean Airlines (CAL) pilot from Palm Road, Valsayn, was last seen at around 5 pm on September 3, speaking with relatives.

Subsequent calls to his phone went straight to voicemail and his Toyota Hilux was seen later that day near Hololo Road in Cascade before being found in Rousillac destroyed by fire.
