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.
