The Ambush: Episode 413

The Ambush: Episode 413

Life was pretty good for Paul Brady. He had just got engaged to Emma and the big day was set for the following spring.


Paul was a foreman responsible for security at a number of local site and one sunny Saturday morning he met up with a joiner, David Collier, and headed to a local property to make some repairs after the house suffered some vandalism the evening before. By 2.10pm, all was done and the two men were driving away when the peace of the day was shattered and their path was blocked when a people carrier blocked their way along the road and another vehicle came up behind their cars – a classic pincer movement. Both men knew straight away it was an ambush and they were in trouble. These assailants weren’t amateurs – they were armed with metal bars and baseball bats and one had a shotgun. All were wearing black, tight-fitting ski masks and identical black hooded tops and black trousers. They weren’t messing about.


David managed to escape by jumping in a nearby river but Paul wasn't so lucky and suffered a dreadful beating. He was then taken away by the gang. Just who had kidnapped Paul Brady? And why?
