Family in Nigeria hostage tribute

THE British construction worker apparently killed by terrorists in Nigeria was denied the chance to meet his first grandchild, his family said.

Brendan Vaughan, 55, was due to become a grandfather with the birth in the family of a baby girl in May.

The British national is believed to have been murdered – with six other foreigners – at the hands of captors yesterday.
