A British couple who spent almost 400 days held hostage in Somalia have spoken of their “traumatic” time.
Paul and Rachel Chandler, kidnapped off their yacht near the Seychelles in October 2009, said they were beaten when they refused to be separated.
“We were really distraught, we were very frightened at that point,” Mrs Chandler, from Kent, said after arriving safely in Kenya.
