MARSABIT, Kenya, Jan 5 \u2013 Law enforcement officers in Marsabit have arrested a 23-year-old woman, Morme Wario, for procuring an illegal abortion, alongside a 50-year-old unlicensed practitioner, Haron Muthuri, who carried out the procedure.<\/p>\n
The arrests follow disturbing reports from Malkalakore village, Drib-Gombo, where residents discovered a lifeless male foetus, estimated to be six months old, wrapped in clothing. <\/p>\n
Police quickly recovered the body and transferred it to Marsabit Referral Mortuary for preservation.<\/p>\n
Investigators focused on Wario, who had been visibly pregnant in the days preceding the incident but was later without a child. <\/p>\n
During police questioning, she confessed to being the mother of the deceased foetus, leading officers to the unlicensed clinic where the abortion was conducted.<\/p>\n
At the clinic, authorities found Muthuri operating without registration. A search revealed assorted drugs and surgical tools, some with fresh blood stains, prompting concerns over the safety and legality of the facility.<\/p>\n
Wario was rushed to Marsabit Referral Hospital for urgent medical care before being escorted to Marsabit Police Station alongside Muthuri, where they are being processed ahead of their arraignment.<\/p>\n
Police have warned the public against seeking services from unlicensed practitioners and urged communities to report suspicious medical activity to prevent tragedies.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
