'How I found out Pablo Escobar was my father'

[Gerald]

Roberto Sendoya Escobar, who lives in Mallorca under his adopted name of Phillip Witcomb, spoke to BBC Newsnight about his infamous father and how he grew up not knowing his true identity until one “extraordinary moment” in 1989.

The interview came ahead of the release of his book Son of Escobar: First Born.

The story of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar is back in the public consciousness following the success of Netflix series Narcos.

But many fans of the hit series might not know Escobar had a son who was adopted by an English couple.

Phillip Witcomb, now 53, was sent to a remote boarding school in Herefordshire to protect him from his biological father, who had made several attempts to kidnap him.

The landscape artist is now writing a screenplay about his life, proceeds of which will go to help recovering drug addicts.

The building will be replaced (or) with a memorial to the victims of the drug lord's reign of terror.
