US kidnap victim Amanda Berry has arrived at her sister's house for an emotional reunion with her family a decade after she became one of three local women to be kidnapped.
Television images of the rear of the home showed someone carrying a small child, thought to be the six-year-old daughter Berry bore during her time as a prisoner of three suspected kidnappers in a house in Cleveland, Ohio.
Shortly after an SUV with darkened windows arrived at the family residence, bedecked in balloons and banners and surrounded by well wishers and reporters, Berry's sister Beth Serrano emerged to make a brief statement.
"I want to thank the public and media for their support and courage over the years. At this time our family would request privacy so my sister and niece and I can have time to recover," she told a thicket of microphones and lenses.
"We appreciate all you have done for us throughout the past ten years. Please respect our privacy until we are ready to make our statements. And thank you," she added, before breaking down in tears.
Berry, 27, her daughter, and Gina DeJesus, 23, and Michelle Knight, 32, were rescued from a nondescript home on Seymour Avenue, Cleveland, on Monday, around ten years after they disappeared in separate incidents.
The occupant of the house, a 52-year-old former school bus driver of Puerto Rican origin, Ariel Castro, has been detained, along with his brothers, Pedro, 54, and Onil, 50. They are expected to be charged later in the day.
When Berry's car drove up, Jessica Duna, a 50-year-old housekeeper who lives in the neighbourhood, said: "Oh my God, it just stopped my heart. It's just sad that her mother isn't here right now. Its heartbreaking."
Posters hanging on the home's front verandah, surrounded by flowers and balloons, declared: "We never lost hope Mandy" and "Welcome home."
