Two Palermo men aged 44 and 41 were arrested Monday on suspicion of kidnapping a 30-year-old Canadian tourist in her B&B in the Sicilian capital over the weekend, local sources said.
The woman reportedly told police she had met the older man in hospital where she had gone to see her boyfriend who had suffered a minor injury.
He is a hospital porter. She got chatting and invited him to herB&B where he was "very nice" but "after a certain point I can't remember anything," she reportedly said.
The man was joined by the younger man and allegedly kidnapped the tourist together, she told police. Tests in hospital reportedly confirmed she had been kidnapped.
