Police in Katwe have rescued a seven month old baby who was kidnapped last week from his parent’s home in Makindye.

The baby identified as Buyinza Kwekiriza was rescued from areas of Buvuma Island after a tip from area police.

According to police the baby was kidnapped by a woman only identified as Sarah who for long had promised her husband a child.

The DPC of Katwe police station Richard Ochang says Sarah who is now in police cells told her husband that she had given birth to a baby boy. However, the husband got suspicious because the baby looked too old to be a new born.

He says Sarah is to be charged with child theft and trafficking.

The baby has now been handed back to the biological parents Gloria Wamaholo and Samson Buyinza who could not hold back tears.
