(Photo: Sa Kaeo Public Relations Office)SA KAEO - An 11-year-old Finnish girl has been rescued from a house in this northeastern province, after she sent an email to police in her home country saying she had been confined and tortured by two Finnish adults. The group found the Finnish girl along with two Finnish nationals — a 56‑year‑old man and a 47‑year‑old woman. The girl is now under the care of ministry officials and will be taken to the Finnish embassy for further assistance. It remains unclear what relationship the Finnish man and woman have to the girl, and what the motive for the abuse is, as the investigation is still ongoing.
