[QUOTE]​A 70-year-old German man held hostage by Isis-affiliated Islamist militants in the Philippines has been beheaded after a deadline set by his captors lapsed. Philippine officials said they received reports that Jurgen Gustav Kantner was murdered at around 3.30pm local time on Sunday afternoon by the Abu Sayyaf militant group, which pledged allegiance to Isis in 2014. Mr Kantner was abducted in November 2016 while he and his wife Sabine Merz were cruising Philippine waters in their 53-foot yacht. Ms Merz was killed during the kidnapping, reportedly after trying to fight back against the militants with a shotgun. The same couple were abducted by Somali pirates and held hostage for 58 days off the Gulf of Aden in 2008.

Should have put a M2HB on that boat, that would have stopped them. Also, at least he had a pretty long life, not that it should have ended that way.
Holy shit thats fucking scary. Imagine being kidnapped twice. And his wife died right next to him too. Jeeesus.
