A 70-year-old Albanian man kept his two daughters chained for 22 years, saying they were mentally ill and aggressive. "They were both ill, and I kept them in chains to keep them from running away," the man said. "I have fed them and washed them, but I had no time to go and look for them if they ran away," he said.
The two women, aged 38 and 47, were living in a small room with only a blanket on the floor. The older sister had her left foot chained, while the younger one had both her hands in chains.
Allegedly, the older daughter was hospitalized in a mental institution when she was 16 and spent seven years there. After she was released, her father chained her and her younger sister.
Following the reports, the two women were sent to hospital. It is unclear whether the man will face charges.
