POLICE RESCUE MISSING INFANT

Acting on intelligence Police Officers domiciled at Kutus Police Station have successfully rescued 14-month-old Maurine Kariuko, who was reported missing on January 23, 2025.

The ordeal began when the child's mother filed a report at the police station, detailing the troubling circumstances surrounding her daughter's disappearance. She explained that she had left her child in the care of a relative while she briefly stepped into a barber shop for a haircut. Upon her return, she was devastated to discover that both the relative and the child had vanished without a trace.

Determined to bring the infant home safely, investigators promptly launched an intensive search. Through forensic trails, they were able to smoke out and arrest the relative from her hideout in Piai area of Kirinyaga County, in an operation, that saw the rescue of the infant bringing her back to safety.

Meanwhile, as investigations continue Maurine has been joyfully reunited with her family, bringing an end to their distressing ordeal and restoring peace to their hearts.

About

The establishment, development and growth of Criminal Investigations Department can be traced to the evolvement of the Kenya Police to which it remains one of the key formations. The first police officers were recruited in 1887 by the Imperial British East Africa Company, I.B.E.A. to provide security for stores in Mombasa. It was from these humble beginnings that the Kenya Police was born.
