Kenya police have arrested one of three suspects wanted in relation to the kidnapping of Silvia Costanza Romano, a volunteer Italian aid worker, the Daily Nation reported on Tuesday quoting police sources.
Romano, 23, was taken captive in the area of the Kenyan coastal town of Kilifi last month in an armed attack in which five people were injured. Kenya's top daily said the man was arrested at Bangale in Tana River County on Sunday.
Two other suspects wanted in relation to the abduction are still on the run. "An AK-47 rifle, two magazines and 100 rounds of ammunition were recovered from the suspect," the Daily Nation quoted a police source saying. Police have offered a reward of around 8,500 euros to anyone who provides information leading to the arrest of any of the suspects.
