Relatives of Marina Chapman, the woman who says she was raised by monkeys for five years in the Colombian jungle, have spoken to the Telegraph about her remarkable story.

Ms Chapman's forthcoming book claims she learnt to catch birds and rabbits with her bare hands after being abandoned in the jungle by kidnappers.

The Tarzan-like episode was brought to an end when she was discovered by hunters, but by her ordeal continued when she was sold to a brothel in the city of Cucuta and groomed for prostitution.

She was eventually found living on the streets and was taken in by a family who adopted her.

Experts wary of woman’s ‘raised by monkeys’ claim

Experts have queried accounts of a Yorkshire housewife who claims she was raised by a troop of capuchin monkeys after being abducted as a child.

Marina Chapman says she was abandoned in a Colombian rainforest after being kidnapped from her home in Cucuta, in the country’s north-east, at the age of five.

Today Ms Chapman’s daughter, 28, describing domestic life in Bradford, told the Mail on Sunday: “We would often groom one another by picking through each other’s hair”. The anthropologist Mary-Ann Ochota said the circumstances made it difficult to verify her story. Chapman’s book, The Girl With No Name, will be published later this month.
