Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambican police have detained a domestic worker suspected of using her employer\u2019s baby in a fraudulent scheme, a source from the security force told Lusa on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are facing a case of fraudulent abduction of a minor, with other criminal aspects,\u201d said Manica province police spokesman Mateus Mindu.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old suspect on Saturday took the 6-month-old girl about 160 kilometres from Chimoio to introduce her as her own to her ex-husband\u2019s family, who demanded to see their alleged daughter in order to continue paying child support.<\/p>\n

The domestic worker, Mindu explained, suffered a miscarriage in the middle of last year, and then sought a job at the home of a pregnant woman whose delivery date would be close to her own.<\/p>\n

After the child\u2019s birth, the suspect began to receive a pension from her husband, who lived in Machipanda, about 80 kilometres from Chimoio.<\/p>\n

Whenever the ex-husband went to town, the suspect found a way to show him the baby, without arousing suspicion.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe felt cornered when she was required to travel with the child to prove her existence\u201d to her ex-husband\u2019s family, Mindu said.<\/p>\n

The woman was arrested the day after disappearing with the baby.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe child is in good health. She is already back with the family and the accused is in police custody,\u201d Mindu added, stressing that the police continue to investigate the suspect in connection with other cases of trafficking in the province.<\/p>\n

In 2020, the police reactivated the alert on human trafficking in Manica province after foiling three cases of attempted child trafficking in one week.<\/p>\n

Eight years earlier, the province was placed on \u201cred alert\u201d after a disturbing rise in cases, almost all linked to illicit enrichment rituals.<\/p>\n
