The baby dumped there under unclear circumstances.

A three-months-old baby has been rescued after it was found dumped in a church bathroom in Musutsu Village in Lumakanda Location, Lugari Sub-county, with a note written by charcoal on a carton box reading “Mark Gitau, Mama Ashley.”

West FM reported that baby was found neatly wrapped in a towel in the washroom of the Salvation Army Mukuyu Corps by the church priest, Gerrishom Kidiya, who could not ascertain circumstances surrounding the incident.
