He said that operatives of the command detained the suspect on Nov. 8, over the alleged murder of the three-day-old baby.
Nguroje said the mother of the baby (name withheld), who is the suspect’s girlfriend, reported the matter to the police.
“The complainant accused the suspect of murder of the three days baby after she gave birth,” he said.
Nguroje said a preliminary investigation showed that the suspect impregnated the complainant, and after giving birth she called him to come for his baby.
