The East London News, by all accounts not an unimpeachable source, reports news of an arrest here and the remarkable claims of the victim here, including that it was his beautiful praying voice which convinced a captor to set him free. Ted Jeory has some context on the alleged victim and his prominence in Tower Hamlets politics here. Interesting.
