Love scam victim tells of kidnap
Des Gregor, 56, travelled to the landlocked African nation last month to meet his supposed bride, Natacha, whom he had met on the internet, and collect a dowry of gold bars worth 100,000 Australian dollars (€61,000).
But when he arrived, the wheat and sheep farmer was kidnapped by a gang of armed bandits who bound him, beat him with a machete and stole his cash and credit cards.
