he city police on Wednesday arrested a female identifiedonly by the initials RW, 19, a housemaid who kidnapped the daughter of heremployers in October on her first day of work, at a boarding house in KampungRambutan, East Jakarta, an officer said on Friday.
RW had brought the 6-year-old victim to Cirebon, West Java, where she abandoned the little girl on the streets while RW returned to Jakarta alone. Residents saved the girl and called her parents as she had memorized her mother's phone number.
'The suspect had initially wanted to take victim to her hometown,' said Jakarta Police mobile detective chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Adex Yudiswan in a press conference on Friday.
However, RW cancelled her plan because she found out that her parents' house had already been sold, said Adex.
'She didn't know where her parents were either,' he said.
RW has been charged with article 328 of the Criminal Code on abduction and could face five years' imprisonment if found guilty.
