British woman Judith Tebbutt, who was released last week by her kidnappers in Somalia, was flown out of Kenya and is back in Britain, The Guardian newspaper reported on Sunday.Mrs Tebbutt, according the newspaper, arrived in Heathrow on Friday evening and was driven away in a police convoy without speaking to reporters at the airport.
She revealed after her release that she did not know that her husband had been killed until two weeks after she was kidnapped.
She said in a video broadcast by the BBC: “I just assumed he was alive, but then my son told me he’d died. That was difficult.”
Early last week, Mrs Tebbutt was reunited with her son Oliver at the British High Commission in Nairobi.
A watchman has been charged with robbery with violence over Mrs Tebbutt’s kidnapping and her husband’s killing.
The man denied the accusations and the trial is still on. Police were planning to interview Mrs Tebbutt last week.
