I received the following report:-
If their demands are not met, they will kill the couple in March. 'We are giving an ultimatum of two months from January 1. If we are not paid $3million we are ready to shoot them,' he said.
'It is becoming too expensive to hold these people. By March, they have to decide or we will be done with them.'
The man, who gave his name only as Noor, gave horrific details of the Chandlers' life in captivity.
[Kidnapped: The Chandlers were seized at gunpoint as they sailed to Tanzania]
Mr Chandler, 59, and his wife, from Tunbridge Wells, Kent, were kidnapped at gunpoint in October as they sailed from the Seychelles to Tanzania.
They have since been moved every 48 hours and have been separated from each other despite their desperate pleas to be kept together.
In one shocking episode, the helpless couple clung to each other and begged for clemency until their ruthless captors resorted to force to beat them apart.
Mrs Chandler, an economist, was injured in the attack. She will be treated by a doctor in Somalia, according to her captors, but the episode has escalated fears for her safety.
A second gang member, who claimed he was the pirates' negotiator, said: 'The woman was unfortunately beaten. She was injured but we have arranged for her to get medical treatment.'
Mr Chandler, a retired quantity surveyor, and his wife were on a round-the-world trip when they were kidnapped in the Indian Ocean, onboard their yacht the Lynn Rival.
Their captors have said they will 'burn the bones' of the couple if an attempt is made to free them.
