Ecuadorian soccer player Jackson Rodríguez's wife and 5-year-old child were kidnapped early Wednesday, police reported, when men broke into their home in search of the Emelec defender, who told investigators he hid under a bed.
The kidnappings took place around 3 a.m. in the coastal city of Guayaquil, police chief Édison Rodríguez said.
In his testimony to police, the 26-year-old fullback said he hid under a bed when he heard the front door being broken down, according to the police chief. The perpetrators took Rodriguez's wife and child after asking the woman if Rodríguez was at the residence.
