The anguished husband of a British mother snatched by four men in Malawi has said ‘I don’t know where she is’.

Nusrat Osman, 47, was grabbed from her home and bundled into a grey Nissan Dualis – registration CA 6956 – that sped off at 12.30pm on Friday.

Police are now blasting SMS messages to the public in a bid to track her down after failing to hear from the kidnappers.

A reward of more than £12,600 has been offered for ‘credible information’ leading to the arrest of the culprits and safe return of the mum-of-two.

Police said the motive behind the abduction was so far unknown to the anguish of her husband.

‘I don’t know where she is or how she is’, he told Nyasa Times.
