Couple Arrested As 3 Women Are Freed from 30 Years In Captivity

A couple, both 67, were arrested on Wednesday and after police rescued three alleged ‘deeply traumatised’  slavery victims, including a 30-year-old woman who spent her whole life in servitude, have been released on bail.

Police said the British woman who was the youngest victim, had never been allowed to step into the outside world, and had possibly been born in captivity in the early 1980s. She fled with a 69-year-old Malaysian and an Irishwoman of 57, who had all been held in servitude by a couple in their 60s for three decades. There were concerns that there may be more victims.
