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.
