A mum who hasn't seen her three children since they were abducted and taken to Libya by their father five months ago is desperate to see them again this Christmas.
Dawn Daley, 44, says she feels 'empty' after her kids, Khalid Aljehani, nine, Aasiyah, seven, and Maimunha, five were taken by their father, Fares Aljehani, under the ruse of a holiday.
He picked the children up from Dawn's house in Wythenshawe on July 30, under the pretence that he was taking them away to North Yorkshire. Instead, he 'clandestinely' boarded a flight to his home country of Libya, a High Court judge ruled last month.
