A Hamtramck man has been charged with kidnapping and raping a 15-year-old girl as police continue searching for a 2-year-old girl last seen with him.
Police in the Detroit enclave Saturday arrested 27-year-old Jamrul Hussain at the house he shares with 24-year-old Nilufa Begum. The FBI and police searched the house Monday.
Begum is the mother of Tangena Hussain, who disappeared Thursday.

The suspect is unrelated to the toddler and hasn't been charged in her disappearance.
The Wayne County prosecutor's office charged him Monday with kidnapping, criminal sexual conduct and having a firearm during a felony.
Defense lawyer Shawn Patrick Smith tells WDIV-TV the family "is torn to pieces" and is cooperating with investigators.
