Bigley wife has renewed hope
The Thai wife of hostage Ken Bigley said video footage of Mr Bigley released yesterday boosted her hopes of seeing her husband alive again.
“After I saw him on television my hope is rising up to 70% to 80%," Sombat Bigley said.
The emotional 35-year-old said she talked at the television urging the engineer to “be strong” adding “I will wait for you”, as the distressing images were broadcast.
It also emerged that a day before his capture, Mr Bigley called his wife to say he had reserved a Bangkok hotel room for the couple for today, when he planned to return.
“We were supposed to meet today, but I only saw him on television in such a situation. So sad,” she said.
