'Abducted' woman found

Katey Caven knocked on window for help

A woman missing for more than three days amid fears that she had been abducted has been found safe and well.

Katey Caven, from Bathford, Somerset, was last seen being bundled into a black BMW car in nearby Bath.

Mrs Caven's sister: Distressing phone call
The 38-year-old was found at a block of flats in Brixton, south London, at about 3.30am GMT.

On Wednesday she rang her sister claiming she had been abducted by her estranged husband.

Avon and Somerset police said Mrs Caven knocked at a window and the occupier of one of the flats alerted officers. A man in his early 30s was arrested in a neighbouring flat and a 39-year-old man seen in a car nearby was also arrested.

"Mrs Caven is very upset and distressed and has received medical attention but is otherwise OK," said Avon and Somerset police. "Officers will be travelling to London today to bring her back to Bath where she will be interviewed."
