Detectives in Kirinyaga have successfully located a 14-month-old baby who had been reported missing last week in the Kingombe area, following allegations that a relative had taken her.
The dedicated team of investigators, in collaboration with local police, apprehended the primary suspect involved in the case.
According to the detectives, the suspect was tracked down in the Kimbi region and subsequently brought to the Kutus Police Station, where family members chose to forgive and move forward together.
The baby had been missing for five days after her mother, Mary Njoki, left her in the care of a nephew while she went to a barber shop in Kiangothe town. Upon returning, Njoki discovered that both her child and nephew were gone.
In a state of distress, the family promptly reported the incident to the Kutus Police Station on the same day.
Fortunately, investigators confirmed that the child was found unharmed at the suspect’s hideout and was later joyfully reunited with her parents, who had been kept informed throughout the rescue operation.
