Tuesday, August 7, 2012 - Police in Bungoma County are looking for a bar maid who is alleged to have aborted her 7 months old foetus and abandoned her three children before fleeing.
The woman who works at a bar at Misikhu market appeared to be depressed before she went missing about 3 days ago. She was expecting another child and this was too much for her because she did not make enough money for the three children she had already.
Neighbors at a rental house where the woman stays became worried after the children stayed out of the house for two days. They decided to break into the house and were shocked by the foul smell when they opened the house’s door.
On inspecting the house, the neighbors found the foetus in a basin under a bed. John Mutaki a neighbor said the woman must have aborted the child before she ran away leaving her children at the doorstep.
The children have been transferred to an administration police camp in the area when they will be taken care of until a permanent solution is found.
A man hunt for the woman has been launched and police hope to flash her from her hideout to answer for charges of child neglect.
