THE British millionaire kidnapped in Ecuador has been freed.
A gang of about 15 masked men reportedly disguised as police officers dragged Colin Armstrong, 78, from a farm he owns on Saturday morning.
He was snatched from his house near the port city of Guayaquil alongside partner Katherine Paola Santos.
She was quickly released.
A video has emerged of Ms Santos apparently having an explosives vest removed by a disposal expert though police later confirmed it was fake.
The footage was captured at a property on a private gated estate in Samborondon near Guayaquil, said to belong to Mr Armstrong's son, Nick.
Mr Armstrong senior was found hours after police questioned Ms Santos, thought to be around 30.
