Free my son's killers if it saves Nigerian schoolgirls
The mother of man from Oldham who was murdered in Nigeria has said his killers should be released if it saves more than 200 captive school girls.
It was reported that Boko Haram, the group which claims to be holding the hostages, is demanding a prisoner swap in exchange for the release of the girls.
Among those prisoners the group wants to see freed are men accused of the kidnap and murder of Christopher McManus, a British engineer from Oldham who was killed in Nigeria in May 2011.
His mother, Laura McManus, told ITV News: "If an exchange took place with somebody that was involved with Christopher's murder, then I could live with that if these girls survived."
