They are both charged with conspiracy to arrange or facilitate the travel of another person with a view to exploitation, namely organ harvesting. The child in question has been safeguarded.

Scotland Yard has not disclosed the gender or the age of the child – or the location of the arrests, but given that the suspects are appearing in court in Uxbridge, it is likely they were held at the nearby Heathrow Airport.

The Cambridge University-educated lawyer added that the victims have their ‘bodies mutilated’ and are ‘roasted like suya [shish kebabs]’. He went on: ‘Roasted alive! This is what Libyans do to sub-Saharan Africans who are looking for a transit point to Europe.
