In Baidoa, South West State, police have detained three individuals—two women and one young man—following the discovery of the body of five-year-old Ikhlaas Ibrahim Amin. The child had been missing for two days before her body was found at a maternal and child health centre in the Xaqsoor neighbourhood.

Family members noted injuries suggesting the child had been beaten and strangled with a rope. The body has been transported to Bay Regional Hospital for examination to determine the exact cause of death. One of the detainees is reported to be a security guard at the location where the body was found.
