A British tourist has died after being robbed and badly beaten by a gang of three men while hiking in South America. Kyle MacKenzie, 34, from Kent, was on an extended holiday and was said to have been planning to stay in Medellín - Colombia's second most populous city - for two months.
According to reports in newspapers in Colombia, he went walking on the Cerro de las Tres Cruces - The Hill of Three Crosses - at the start of this week. Mr MacKenzie, from Ashford, was last seen alive on Monday (Feb 27). His badly-injured body was found during the early hours of Wednesday.
Reports in the El Colombiano newspaper say he had been heard calling for help in English and was found by authorities bleeding 'profusely' - with multiple injuries to his head and body.
