Three people are under arrest for kidnapping a 50-year-old Lebanese woman and holding her hostage inside a Buġibba apartment for ransom money.
The kidnappers, two Libyan men aged 36 and 43, were demanding a sum of money from her son in order to release the woman.
The son allegedly owed money to repay debts over a drug deal.
