Woman who stole a baby at KNH had earlier suffered a miscarriage, neighbors reveal

Prince Ouko, a three weeks old baby who was stolen on Sunday by a woman identified as Edna at Kenyatta National hospital was found yesterday.

He went missing a few minutes after his dad had requested two women; Edna and another unidentified woman to hold his twins as he helped his wife get to the first floor to see a doctor.

Edna escapes with the baby

This is when Edna saw an opportunity to escape with the baby knowing very well that she was committing a crime.

From the reports shared on social media Job Nyatiti and his family then launched a man haunt for the lady and thanks to main stream media, the baby was traced to Kawangware where Edna lives.

Apparently her neighbors noticed that Edna had arrived home with a new born baby knowing very well that she had suffered a miscarriage a while back.

One neighbor who had taken Job Nyatiti called up the baby’s father giving them directions as to where they would find the baby.

Postnatal stress

Though Edna was still struggling to accept that her baby had passed on, she opted to steal another baby hoping that he would heal the wound she felt.

Her actions have however landed her in a situation that will see her spend a few years behind bars for kidnapping.
