The nephew of one of three women allegedly held as slaves for more than three decades has said his aunt occasionally met family members during that period.
However, Zan Azlee said Aisha Wahab was always accompanied by what he described as "escorts".
He told Sky News Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt: "She was a brilliant student in school.
"She would have been the first Malay female to come back with a quantity surveying degree - at that time. The family was very proud of her.
The property where the alleged victims lived has been boarded up "Then, slowly, she started mixing with a different crowd, more of the leftist movement."
The Malaysian student went missing in London in the 1970s and it was during these early years that several relatives visited her.
"Some of them managed to meet her, some did not, and those who did meet her, they did not manage to persuade her to go home," said Mr Azlee.
"My mother once told me that when her mother came here to look for her, she came out and met her mother, but she had escorts.
"It seemed like she was okay and she wanted to be here."
Mr Azlee, who has travelled to Britain to see his aunt for the first time, hopes he will not have to wait too long.
A policeman stands guard outside the home "To now know that she was here, not really of her free will, it kind of makes things really sad," he added.
The 69-year-old woman is one of three alleged victims to have been kept as domestic slaves.
The others are a 30-year-old Briton and 57-year-old Irish national.
All three - now in the care of a specialist non-governmental organisation - are believed to have suffered years of physical and mental abuse at the hands of Aravindan and Chanda Balakrishnan.
The husband and wife, aged 73 and 67 and of Indian and Tanzanian origin, were arrested last week on suspicion of keeping three women in permanent servitude, and released on bail.
They are believed to have been well-known to the police in the 1970s after setting up a communist squat, the Mao Zedong Memorial Centre, in Acre Lane, Brixton, in 1976.
