KINGSTON, Jamaica — The woman who allegedly kidnapped an 11-day-old newborn from her parents at the Victoria Jubilee Maternity Hospital on Monday is now in custody.

According to the police, the woman was nabbed in the community of Dunkirk in East Kingston, where the baby was reportedly found in her custody.
