The body of Paul Urey is now back in the UK
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.
After their ordeal, the pair vowed to each other that if the worst ever did happen to one of them, the other would contact their family. And after father-of-four Paul, 45, later died in captivity, Mr Healy kept that pledge during an emotional meeting with his pal's daughters Courtney, 17, and Chelsea, 21.
Courtney said: "It was difficult hearing what Dad went through, but at least we know the truth now. At one point there were reports he’d been dismembered. That was awful, but thankfully untrue." "Then he fired a shot into the mud in the middle of the two of us. Paul went, 'that was a close one'." On March 15 he flew from Luton to Poland and was hailed at the Ukraine border by applauding refugees. Mr Healy was accepted by the Foreign Legion but changed his mind after growing alarmed by fighters’ lack of organisation and weapons training. He became an aid worker and met Mr Urey, who was rejected by the Foreign Legion for health reasons.
