DCI detectives from the Child Protection Unit recovered 9-month-old Baby Tamara on March 5, 2019, after her father Timon Makswell reported she was unlawfully taken by his in-laws. The agency confirmed two suspects were detained and will face charges in court.
Makswell shared his account on Facebook, detailing how he was pressured by family members and law enforcement to relinquish custody of his daughter. His post sparked widespread public support, with social media users amplifying the case through hashtags #JusticeForBabyTamara and #JusticeForTimonMakswell.
The Director of Criminal Investigations intervened after the online campaign, directing Makswell to file a formal report. A DCI statement on Twitter confirmed the child's safe return and the arrest of two individuals involved in the dispute.
"Dear #KOT, Detectives from the Child Protection Unit have rescued #BabyTamara & arrested two culprits. The baby is in safe hands & the two suspects are in lawful custody & will be arraigned in court tomorrow. Thank you all for bringing this to our attention.#JusticeForBabyTamara,"
