Overwhelmed: Hostage’s mother collapses after emotional plea
“Would you please help my son? He is only a working man who wants to support his family,” Elizabeth Bigley said in an address to the militants who have been holding her son for more than a week. “Please show mercy to Ken and send him home to me alive.”
The 86-year-old, originally from Ticknock, near Stepaside in Dublin, made the televised appeal from a police station in Liverpool. But just after 8pm last night she was taken to hospital.
