Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) arrested Josephine Kariuki Muthoni, 27 and two foreigners, a Chinese and a Singaporean, for child trafficking. Police said Ms Muthoni had given birth on July 18, 2018 and instructed the hospital staff to give away the baby to Chinese nationals Mahesh Chudasama and Neo Kian Fu. The DCI said after interrogations, two lawyers came and produced a copy of an agreement between the mother and the Chinese couple. The 12-day-old baby boy was taken to the Baby Life Rescue Centre pending an application for protection and care at the children’s court in Mombasa.
