her daughters confined to an apartment amid media reports that they
were locked away for a decade. Police suspected the 59-year-old woman
had "restricted her children's freedom... for quite a few years,"
spokeswoman Ewa-Gun Westford told newsmen.
According to reports, one of the now adult children managed to briefly
leave the apartment in the small southern town of Bromoella and
convince a neighbour to call the police, saying that they had been
locked up for over a decade.
"The blinds were always pulled down there and we haven't heard any
noise from the apartment," a neighbour told the paper. Expressen also
reported that the woman had moved the children around to different
locations in an effort to keep them away from their father.
"One of the young women was led out of the apartment, she could barely
walk by herself," an eye witness told newspaper Aftonbladet.
Investigators were questioning the woman and the children -- all aged
over 18 -- at a police station in the nearby town of Kristianstad.
