Seven days later…No signs of abducted baby, kidnapper
To date, police have arrested four females who share the same name and similar appearance of the woman who
The abducted infant
kidnapped a nine-day-old baby two Saturdays ago from the Port Mourant Market, but have been unable to track down the real kidnapper.
The police picked up the four women who reside along the West and East Coast of Demerara after anonymous callers informed the infant’s mother, Sandra Mc Lean that they knew who the kidnapper was and where she resides.
But when the young mother turned up at the locations with the police, her high hopes of finding the kidnapper and locating her baby dwindled instantly.
“People who have my number calling and telling me that she (kidnapper) is at this place and that place and when we show up at the people’s house with the police, it is not the woman,” the mother lamented.
Yesterday, a devastated Mc Lean told this publication that she carried her child for nine months and never thought a day would come when she has to roam from door to door to look for the child.
The mother said that she will not give up on finding her baby boy and believes she will locate him someday.
“I know my child. He has a birth mark on his knee and I am his mother, I will never forget him,” the mother stressed.
Two Saturdays ago, a woman whom Sandra Mc Lean met at the Skeldon Public Hospital several days before she delivered her baby boy, disappeared with the baby.
The woman, whom she identified as one Bibi Khan, was reportedly based in Suriname.
Mc Lean said that she met ‘Khan’ on May 16, last, at the hospital.
“I was experiencing labour pains and this woman come in and say that she looking for someone name Sandra.
I didn’t say anything because my name is also Sandra, plus I was in pain so my relatives talked to her.
She was kind of short and medium size and she is Indian and she was wearing a Kemar,” the grieving mother recalled.
Mc Lean said that the woman returned after she had delivered her son.
“She asked to play with the baby. She said that she has to pay him and she put $5000 under his blanket and she lifted him. We were talking and I gave her my address and so. She spent like an hour and then she left.”
According to McLean, the woman did not go back to the hospital.
The kidnapper
“I didn’t see her back until she come to my house. She come and played with the baby and she gave him another $5000, and she asked if she can buy stuff for him and I said ‘no problem’ because we were having a nine-day celebration for the baby.”
“When we were in Skeldon, she went into a store and then she come out back and say that my baby brings luck to her because she got through with whatever business she had to do. She said that she had to buy something in a Chinese store but “like after she see the cameras she didn’t go. But I didn’t really suspect anything”.
Afterward, we went to the Port Mourant Market and she said that she wanted fish. She tell me that the baby will be safe with her outside, while I go and buy the fish in the market. But when I come out back she was gone.”
A report was made to law enforcement officers, but the search proved futile.
“We de naming him Avinash. He father ain’t even get to see he, but I know me child if I see him anywhere. He get a slight mark on he knee like a birthmark, and I could never forget that woman.’
“I will always remember her face,” the mother said as she noted that she still has hope of finding her son.
Anyone with information regarding the missing infant is asked to contact the nearest police station or contact relatives on telephone numbers, 338-1297 6602651 or 693 9484.
