Cape Verde: 3 child abductors jailed A tribunal in Praia, the capital of Cape Verde, on Thursday, sentenced three persons to six-year jail terms each after they were found guilty of abducting a 13-year-old child. They had abducted a 13-year-old child and demanded a ransom of about 36,500 dollars, judicial sources said. A fourth person involved in the kidnapping that took place on Jan. 16, 2014 in the locality of Monte Vermelho, was acquitted for lack of evidence. The tribunal established that the accused Wilson Cabral, Rony Lopes and José David de Pina, had abducted the victim. The victim was abducted in front of his home in Monte Vermelho and took him in a taxi to a house in Cidadela. They then called the childs father, a rich businessman, and asked for the ransom in exchange for the childs freedom. Judicial police sources said the plan of the abductors failed when the father informed the police. The police were able to locate the place where the child was being kept in captivity and then rescue him safely.
