Teen held by Bosnian couple for 8 years TUZLA, Bosnia-Herzegovina, May 28 (UPI) -- Police rescued a German teenage girl allegedly enslaved for eight years by a Tuzla, Bosnia-Herzegovina, couple who abused and tortured her, officials said. The girl was rescued after a concerned neighbor saw her being beaten, took a picture on his cellphone and notified police, ABC News reported Sunday. "Acting on a tip, police freed the 19-year-old woman, Betina, who had been enslaved and abused for some eight years," Admir Arnautovic, a spokesman for the prosecutor's office in Tuzla, told ABC News. The girl was not allowed to communicate with people, was not allowed to go to school, was starved, beaten and forced to hard labor. Milenko Marinkovic, 52, and his wife Slavojka, 45, were arrested May 17 on suspicion of illegal imprisonment and cruel treatment. The woman was in a safe house, but suffering psychologically and physically, officials said. When she was found in a forest near the village, she weighed only 88 pounds. "She had visible signs of torture all over her body," Arnautovic said. I've been in this business for a long time, and this is the first time I've ever seen anything of this nature. Prosecutors said they think Betina's mother was once married to Marinkovic -- who isn't the teen's father -- to help him gain a German residence permit. Betina's mother lives near where the girl was being held and was being questioned.
