Kamar Mautum, a retired teacher from a town near Kuala Lumper, told the Daily Telegraph that the 69-year-old captive, who they name as Aishah, is her sister. According to Kamar she had moved to Britain with her ﬁancé in 1968 but got involved in extremist politics before disappearing without trace. They were drawn towards an extremist Maoist organisation, called the Malaysian and Singaporean Students Forum, and became embedded in the politics at the time. The Maoist group was at the forefront of many student protests, especially over the war in Vietnam. Her disappearance had caused extreme heartache for her family and her mother's dying wish had been to know what happened to her daughter. Press reports from 1978, say a 34-year-old woman called Aishe Waham was arrested following a police raid on the headquarters of the group. Later press reports - from 1997 - say a woman called Aisha Wahab gave evidence at a coroners' inquest into Sian Davies' death. The Telegraph have reported today that the woman was originally known as Aishah Mautum. Last week Aravindan Balakrishnan and his wife Chanda were arrested last week arrested on suspicion of holding three women captive. I have felt so choked without her for years and years. She was so talented, she was the apple of my mother's eye. She asked for her on her death bed. Kamar told the Telegraph. She said her sister became more and more drawn to the leader of the collective leading her to leave her fiancé. Following an argument over her allegiance to "Chairman Ara," or "Comrade Bala" as he was known, she threw her engagement ring into the River Thames. Maoist Slavery suspect is a 'toothless old man' not a 'charismatic' leader, claims cousin of sect member who died Accusations: Eleri Morgan has told ITV News her cousin Sian Davies lived within the collective led by slavery suspect Aravindan Balakrishnan, who she described as a 'toothless old man' Slavery suspect Aravindan Balakrishnan was more of a 'toothless old man' than a 'charismatic' figure, according to the cousin of a woman who lived in his London commune for more than 20 years. Eleri Morgan claims her cousin Sian Davies died after in 1997 after mysteriously falling out of a bathroom window in the house the group were living in in Brixton. Ms Davies was kept in hospital for seven months after the fall, but her family claim they were not told. She had been jailed three times for her activism before she died, it was revealed today. Ms Morgan said Ms Davies wrote home talking of how she was looking after the 'mothers of the world' but was not allowed to see her cousin. Her letters always spoke of 'comrade Bala' - the name that Balakrishnan was referred to. Ms Morgan met Balakrishnan at the inquest into her cousin's death. She told ITV News: 'I had such a shock because I imagined somebody charismatic and there was this toothless old man - well looked old.' A senior council source confirmed that Balakrishnan and his wife Chanda were arrested last week by police amid allegations that they held three women for more than 30 years. It is claimed they were leaders of an extremist Maoist collective. The alleged victims - a 30-year-old Briton, a 57-year-old Irishwoman and a 69-year-old Malaysian - are believed to have suffered years of 'physical and mental abuse' at the hands of the pair. House-to-house inquiries have been carried out in Peckford Place in Brixton where the three women were found. Police have confirmed that there are ongoing inquiries relating to a total of 13 addresses, all in London, linked to the couple. Ms Morgan claims her cousin Sian Davies died after in 1997 after mysteriously falling out of a bathroom window in the house the group were living in in Brixton The couple, aged 73 and 67, are believed to have been well-known to the police in the 1970s after setting up a communist squat, the Mao Zedong Memorial Centre, in Acre Lane, Brixton in 1976. Ms Morgan recalled that her cousin had a boyfriend called Martin. She told ITV News: 'She was outgoing, we went clubbing in our younger days, enjoyed the good life, and next time I saw her she was in the morgue. I picked up the paper and oh my God, Bala and it all came back to me... In the paper it implied they were all foreign students, but earlier they weren't all foreign. I know of Martin and Sian - what he did to our family he did to others.

Documents also show how in 1978 police raided the Mao Zedong Memorial Centre, arresting 14 members of the organisation, including Aravindan Balakrishnan and wife Chanda, referred to as Comrade Chanda. A source at Lambeth Council said the couple were believed to have been in the property for around 10 years after moving there from a council property, and concerns had previously been raised with police about the education of the youngest woman. Scotland Yard would not comment on the claims, but previously said two of the victims met the male suspect through a 'shared political ideology', living with him at an address that was effectively called a 'collective'.
