We can confirm that the family have now received absolute proof that Ken Bigley was executed by his captors. How we all as individuals handle crisis situations will differ from person to person, from family member to family member. It is important to be considerate of one another's view and actions. In that respect, the family here in Liverpool believe that our government did everything it possibly could to secure the release of Ken in this impossible situation. It could be that the fate of Ken, Eugene and Jack, was sealed from day one. We will never know." 1.48 4.
