A Manchester aid worker captured in Ukraine sent a message to his two daughters telling them 'I love you so much' before he tragically died - and it's now been delivered to them in person by a freed hostage he was held and tortured with, reports the Sunday Mirror.
Paul Urey, 45, from Manchester, was captured along with another worker, 22-year-old Dylan Healy, on April 25 at a checkpoint south of the city of Zaporizhzhia in south-eastern Ukraine. Mr Urey later died in captivity.
Mr Healy, reveals the Sunday Mirror, told Mr Urey's grieving daughters, sisters Courtney and Chelsea: "Your dad loved you and thought about you every day." He has told how he and Mr Urey endured a mock execution and were relentlessly tortured by Russian troops.
