Irish twins missing in Madrid found safe and well
14/05/2019
TWIN sisters from the Republic of Ireland missing in Madrid since Thursday have been found safe and well a day apart, but the first of the young women to be traced is described as 'confused and traumatised'.
According to their elder sister Jennifer, who had travelled to the Spanish capital and reported their disappearance when they failed to answer calls or messages on their mobiles, Mary Osaro, 26, was found on Monday, with no signs of physical health problems or injuries, and had not apparently suffered any violence or sexual assault.
But Jennifer Osaro said her little sister was 'very traumatised', although she did not want to go into details.
“I cannot say how nor where I found her, but I can only say that she is very traumatised and that, right now, I can't trust anyone. Someone will know more about Martha's [her twin's] location, but is hiding this information. We're very worried about her,” Jennifer said last night.
Fortunately, though, a clue supplied by a woman walking round the city led to Martha Osaro's being located today (Tuesday).
She was in good health and had not been attacked.
Although the search – which had involved the National Police, Irish authorities and Interpol – has come to a happy ending, the circumstances around the young women's disappearance, where they have been for four or five days and why they were not found together remain unknown.
The twins know Madrid very well, as they have been living there on and off for the last five years.
At the time of their disappearance, they were back living in Ireland but had gone to the city for a few days' holiday to celebrate their joint 26th birthday.
