London police: 3 women rescued after 30 years
British police have arrested a couple on suspicion of holding three women captive for more than 30 years, Scotland Yard announced Thursday.
Officers from the Human Trafficking Unit arrested the man and woman, both 67, at their south London home as part of an investigation into slavery and domestic servitude, the Metropolitan Police said. They are in custody.
The "highly traumatized" victims - a 69-year-old Malaysian woman, 57-year-old Irish woman and 30-year-old Briton - have been taken to a place of safety, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement.
FULL STORY
On a good obamacare note, a dog named Baxter, from Colorado successfully signed up for the ACA! Turns out he is two hundred years old in dog years and he doesn't need prenatal care either. Can't make this stuff up! Ahhh. I'm enjoying the show folks and it's only the beginning... TBC
This story had shades of Ariel Castro to it.
It's JJ and u know it. Deflect much?
Care to address the issue no name? Yea IDE run far far away from that one too trollio. Stand WAY back Rupert! It's ablaze!
This has shades of Ariel Castro written all over it.
CNN, why do you enable comments just to delete those that are actually on topic?
OMG! What an absolutely horrid thing to happen to these women! And you 2 clowns posting your garbage ought to be ashamed of yourselves! Wth cares about your beliefs on Obama anymore anyway? Fool!
You forgot to capitalize Lord, and He also appreciates proper punctuation. Bad banasie.
i'm sorry this is just toooo-too unbelivuble! the only victim here maybe briton she woulddah been a baby...the other two women are just mad cuz their never received their promised immigration papers...
Sure, because the thought that they were being held against their will as unpaid slave labor never entered their minds.
Pretty sure it was the 30 years of forced labor that made them mad.
Seriously? Deleted again for saying this reminds me of the Ariel Castro case?
This reminds me of the Ariel Castro case.
Human trafficking is a serious issue in the world and the reasons vary. Sounds sort of like a modern Cinderella story, in which they wanted domestic servants but didn't want to pay them. Similar to the domestic slaves of 1860, perhaps.
Perhaps this couple never got the memo that the age of slavery passed three centuries ago in England.
Mama Carlson never paid me either. Over 50 years I was that woman's butler.
So slavery is no big deal eh @ Juan? Just so long as you can torment ppl thats all that counts??
Well how nice was that? You delete @ banasys "on-topic" posts but you leave up the village i d i o t s post! Go figure!
They have been doing this to me all week , Chrissy. I have obviously angered the gods by being on-topic, I guess.
Again. For the 5th(?) time.
This has shades of Ariel Castro.
Human trafficking got ANY reason is wrong.
Guess I am on the list this week.
Ah! So that makes it all better in their minds huh? Morons!
