Baby Liam Ngucwa Mwangi, who went missing on June 2nd in Murang’a, was rescued yesterday afternoon by DCI detectives. Baby Liam who is believed to have been kidnapped by his grandparents’ houseboy, was found at a house in Naivasha, following days of his painstaking search.
The 4-year-old boy has since been reunited with his parents, who couldn’t hide their joy holding the little angel, after five days of tears and anguish. The distraught parents and relatives had in an online appeal that went viral, asked Kenyans to volunteer any information they may have had, regarding their son’s whereabouts. The parents disclosed that their son had last been seen in Thika, in the company of one Charles King’ori alias Delvin Maina who was their houseboy.
Yesterday’s rescue followed a meticulous mission, executed by detectives from the Crime Research & Intelligence Bureau, augmented by their Special Service Unit counterparts. Baby Liam’s captors escaped narrowly moments before the rescue.
Charles King’ori alias Delvin Maina, the suspect behind baby Liam’s kidnapping was finally arrested. The suspect was arrested following a dramatic chase in the streets of Naivasha town witnessed by members of the public.
King’ori was arrested as he tried to escape the detective’s dragnet, a few hours after the baby he had kidnapped was rescued. So desperate were his attempts to escape justice, that he had visited a salon in the town to have his hair braided to conceal his identity.
Detectives were however too smart for the suspect’s antics, since they pounced on him as he escaped on a getaway motorbike. His arrest follows stealth & relentless efforts by the investigators, to ensure that the perpetrator does not enjoy a single day of freedom again, to torment innocent children and their families.
