“From there she made her way to her relatives’ home at South Ruimveldt.”
Meanwhile, police sources said that they have detained a number of persons in connection with the woman’s abduction.
Among those being questioned is a man who was also a suspect in the murder of bank employee, Sheema Mangar. Perreira, of Evan Phillips Park, Agricola, was kidnapped outside of her home on Thursday night by three men in a black vehicle while sitting in a taxi.
The kidnappers contacted relatives and demanded $20 million for her safe return, but subsequently asked for $10 million. She was allowed to speak with relatives and had indicated that she was unharmed while urging them to pay the ransom.
