ONE more suspect has been arrested in connection with a case where a newborn baby was sold for US$180.

Jestina Mashamba (45) from Budiriro 1, Harare, employed at Sally Mugabe Maternity Hospital appeared before Harare regional magistrate Donald Ndirowei on Saturday last week.

Prosecutor Blessed Songozo alleged that sometime in February and March, Mashamba acting in concert with Dion Tore, Betty Patricia Sena and a minor, who is the mother of the female infant, now nine months old, hatched a plan to traffic the baby.
