Police have arrested a 28- 28-year-old woman who is accused of killing her two-week-old infant in the Kadel area in Rachuonyo North in Homa Bay County.
Confirming the arrest, Rachuonyo North Sub County Police Commander Lydia Parteiyie said the mother of three is said to have killed the baby boy in her house before she took the body and dumped it in a maize plantation.
She was seen by members of the public getting into a maize plantation carrying a child and minutes later she came out without the child, which prompted members of the public to intervene.
“Upon interrogation, the woman first declined to reveal where she had taken the baby. She then led neighbours to a maize plantation, where she dumped the baby after killing him,” Lydia revealed.
Lydia says the woman was immediately arrested and handed over to officers at Kadel police post before she was transferred to Kendu Bay Police station, where she was detained and awaiting arraignment.
