A teenager is 1 of 9 suspects held in connection with the kidnapping of Narine and Mattie Maraj.

Both husband and wife escaped from a camp in Valencia where their kidnappers held them.

Two days apart the couple freed themselves.

Police say a 16-year-old was held among the 9 male suspects.

They are searching for more suspects.

The suspects are said to be from the northern and eastern divisions.

Last Saturday Mr. and Mrs. Maraj were kidnapped after they left their St. Helena home to go to Piarco to tend their farm.

Two million dollars was demanded for their release.

Last Sunday 62-year-old Mr. Maraj was able to free himself and just before midday on Tuesday his wife was found along Cumaca Road.
