KIDNAP GIRL'S SEX ORDEAL
By Bruce Johnston in Rome

A BRITISH teenage girl was kidnapped by Albanians while holidaying in Italy and forced to work for 15 hours a day as a prostitute for five weeks, police said yesterday.

The 18-year-old daughter of a Briton and his Latvian wife, from Southgate, north London, was so badly beaten by her captors that she temporarily lost the sight of one eye.

Police in Vicenza, near Venice, said that when they broke into a city-centre flat on Friday and arrested her two captors, they found her "completely terrorised". Earlier the girl, who was born in Riga, had managed to raise the alarm. She pretended to the Albanians that she had a Latvian friend who she thought "would like to also do the same work".

Borrowing a mobile phone from her Albanian captor to ring the friend to "ask her to come to Italy", she rang her mother and, speaking in Latvian, told what had happened and gave the address where she was being held.

Hours later, police in Vicenza broke into the flat and arrested two Albanians: Riza Engjellush, 21, from Durres, an illegal immigrant, and Violeta Boboci, 25, a prostitute from Berap.

N.B. The two Albanians must be "refugees" from Serb "ethnic cleansing"... due to poor quality of Serb-made detergent.
