CE: Kidnapped French Woman

Handicapped french women Maire Dedieu was kidnapped in a beach house near a Kenyan resort island. Residents said that the abduction was planned ahead of time. Kenya's government believes that the Somali fighters from the al-Shabab group were involved in this crime. Her boyfriend John Lepapa claims that the group came to their house in a boat carrying loaded guns. They asked where the foreigner was and took Maire while she was vulnerable. She asked to spare her life and told them they could take whatever they had in their pockets and house. But they refused and carried her to the boat which sailed somewhere around Somalia. Later that day, the ministry confirms Maire's death. Maire's family asked if Kenyan government would commit to sending back her remains if the kidnappers were captured. The French government gave their gratitude to the death of Maire Dedieu.
When reading this, I was wondering why the kidnappers would take a foreigner. and how did they know that Maire died? Maybe the Somali fighters sent a video response to the Kenyan government.  When I read that the French government helped contribute to the death of Maire. I began to come up with a hypothesis. Did the group who took Maire take her because they wanted to see how the French government will react? It seems to me that the crime was possessed because they plan on doing something else. The French government was respected because of their urge to find whoever had kidnapped Maire Dedieu and bring justice. I hope the best for Maire Dedieu's family.
