Residents of the Colombian town of Barrancas have held a candle-lit march to demand the release of the father of Liverpool footballer Luis Díaz.


Luis Manuel Díaz was kidnapped at gunpoint along with his wife on Saturday.

The player's mother was left behind in a car by the kidnappers as police closed in, but the gunmen dragged away his father. Specialised police units are searching the area with sniffer dogs.

Shouting "freedom" and dressed in white T-shirts emblazoned with a photo of Luis Manuel Díaz, hundreds of people marched through Barrancas. The Colombian authorities have stepped up their search for Luis Manuel Díaz.
