Taybah’s mother Rubina had previously issued a heartfelt appeal to find her daughter, saying: “Our family is torn apart and completely broken.

“I urge and beg anyone with any information, big or small, to please come forward and help us bring her home where she belongs because this pain is unbearable.

“We love you dearly and want you home. You are not in trouble so don’t be scared. We love you and miss you so much.”
