Slave women rescued after 30 years in captivity Nov. 22 (UPI) --Three women were rescued after being held in horrible conditions in a London house for the last 30 years. "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," said Detective Inspector Kevin Hyland, from the Metropolitan Police's human trafficking unit. The women included a 69 year old from Malaysia, a 57 year old from Ireland, and a 30 year old British woman who authorities believe was born in captivity. A 67-year old couple was arrested at the same property.
