Colombian police have identified two of the four men who kidnapped the father of the Colombian footballer Luis Díaz as security forces race to prevent his captors smuggling him into neighbouring Venezuela.
Luis Manuel Díaz and his wife, Cilenis Marulanda, were abducted on Saturday by armed men at a petrol station in Barrancas in Colombia’s northern La Guajira state. Though Marulanda was freed the same day, the search for Díaz Sr goes on across La Guajira, a desert region close to Venezuela which is a hotbed for armed groups smuggling contraband and cocaine.
