Eventually, she asked to babysit the toddler,\u201d said Daudi.<\/p>\n<p>She went on to say that, taking advantage of the situation, the suspect vanished with the baby. Efforts made by the mother along with community members to locate the suspect proved futile.<\/p>\n<p>The incident was later reported at Chimwala Police Unit who initiated investigations. The suspect was arrested yesterday at her home village where she fled with the child.<\/p>\n<p>According to police findings, the suspect who is a sex-worker had been trying to have her own kids to no avail hence resorting to stealing one. At the village, she lied her relations in Makanjira that she adopted the baby after his mother passed on during delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the baby has been positively identified by the parents and referred to Mangochi District Hospital for medical checkup. Lucia has been charged with child stealing which contravenes section 167 of the Penal Code and will appear before court next week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
