London Police Bail Couple Accused Of Holding Women As Slaves

LONDON - British police said early Friday they had released on bail two people who allegedly held three women as slaves in their London home for more than 30 years.

The couple were arrested at the house at about 7:30 am on Thursday (0730 GMT) as part of an investigation into a suspected case of slavery and domestic servitude, London's Metropolitan Police said.
The pair were bailed until a date in January, police said.


A Malaysian woman, 69, an Irish woman, 57, and a British woman, 30, were all rescued from the house, police said on Thursday, after one of them contacted a charity to inform them of her plight.

Metropolitan Police Detective Inspector Kevin Hyland said on Thursday his force had "never seen anything of this magnitude before."
