Man plans own kidnapping to see if wife loves him
Wed Jan 7, 4:02 PM ET
BOGOTA (AFP) - Colombian authorities arrested a man who arranged to be kidnapped to get back at his cheating wife, police said.
Jorge Bravo, who was captured in Colombia's second largest city Medellin, said by planning for his own kidnapping he was trying to test whether his wife loved him.
A brother of Bravo's had called the woman, asking her to pay three million pesos (1,100 dollars) for her husband's release, according to the police.
"All I wanted was to see how she felt" with Bravo absent, and supposedly kidnapped, the would-be victim told a television channel during an interview in handcuffs at a police station.
The woman had admitted having an affair with another man.
Antioquia police chief Dagoberto Garcia said Bravo was captured several days after he went missing, after police got onto his trail, monitoring phone calls.
Bravo, who is facing extortion charges, said he did not know if his wife had learned her lesson, or her true feelings towards him.
