A mother and an alleged sex worker have appeared at the Cala Magistrate’s Court on Monday accused of trafficking a newborn baby girl.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), the women appeared briefly in court on Monday, where their case was postponed, due to the non-availability of a language interpreter.
They are facing human trafficking charges after the mother allegedly sold her baby to the alleged sex worker.
