CHICAGO — A six-year-old child recovered from a home in the US city of Cleveland where three women missing for a decade were found is the daughter of one of the abductees, police said Tuesday.

Police confirmed the girl was the daughter of Amanda Berry, whose dramatic escape led to the discovery of the other two women, Gina DeJesus and Michele Knight. Three brothers in their 50s have been arrested over the case.
