A Ramsey man found out through radio reports this morning that his oil engineer son had reportedly been kidnapped in Indonesia.
It is believed that Scottish 62-year-old Malcolm Primrose, who works in the south-east Asian country for mining company Medco Exploration and Production, was ambushed in his car by a group of armed men on Tuesday.
His father Sid, who lives in Ramsey, said at the moment he knew very little about what had happened.
He said: ‘As far as I know the Foreign Office are handling it.’
