'Slave' women rescued: Three held in 'horrific conditions'
Three women rescued from a
house after allegedly being held as slaves for 30 years were kept in
"horrific conditions", a charity has said.
A Malaysian woman, 69, an Irish woman, 57, and a Briton, 30, were rescued on 25 October, it emerged on Thursday.
A 67-year-old man and woman, understood to be married, were arrested in Lambeth and later bailed until January.
Det Insp Kevin Hyland, from the Metropolitan Police's human trafficking unit, said: "These women are highly traumatised, having been held in servitude for at least 30 years with no real exposure to the outside world, and, trying to find out exactly what has happened over three decades will understandably take some time."
