A couple of convicted kidnappers who have been on the run from authorities for 20 years have been found living in luxury at an idyllic beachside resort, 100km from where they committed the heinous crime.
Husband and wife Leandro Silva Troesch and Shirley da Silva Figueiredo managed to evade authorities after being convicted of kidnapping a woman for ransom in Brazil in 2001.
