Two men and a woman have been arrested as suspects in a minor's disappearance case.

Police on Monday said the three suspects are in custody following the disappearance of a 14-year-old girl on May 9, at the Nairobi railways terminus.

"According to the minor’s father, his daughter was traveling from Mombasa to Nairobi aboard the day’s 3 pm train when she disappeared upon arrival in Nairobi later that night," DCI tweeted. 

Police said unknown to the distraught father, the minor arrived at the Nairobi town terminus at around 9:30 pm and sneaked out of the station in the company of a man later.

The next day, the minor was handed over to the second suspect who is also suspected to have defiled her.

The third suspect is a woman identified who is alleged to have assisted in harboring the minor.
