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 Colin's son, Nick.
Colin was found hours after police questioned Ms Santos, thought to be around 30.
