And today 7news obtained a selfie video recording from Joseph Budna. It was secreted out to us from the Guatemala City jail - where he basically confirms what we saw on the security video. The video has been blurred at his request:
Voice of: Ryan Joseph Budna
"I'm very painful in my head, my ribs, my feet, my hands, my back, my belly, even my face. I was beaten badly by members of the Belize Police Department personnel."
"As you all know I was kidnapped by these persons who are members of the Belize Police Department who acted upon instructions from their higher boss such as the ComPol of the Belize Police Department as I heard one of the man in the vehicle said "ComPol, we have di man.""
"I was knocked out, not before shouting to get the attention of people who might be passing the area who captured a little bit of the momentum."
"The police stepped out and when the police officer stepped out, the police officer said they are police officers and they are acting upon a commission and the police leave them."
"They duck taped me and put me inside a sky blue SUV Equinox, Chevy, heavily tinted and drove off with me."
