Dahlia Spence, the mother of a two-month old baby who disappeared last month, and Natanya Chickory, her friend, are to return to the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court today.

Both women are facing charges of conspiracy to human trafficking, human trafficking, child abandonment and creating public mischief.

Spence told the court that her babyfather died when she was six months pregnant and she wanted someone to help her with the child. However, she agreed to have Chickory take her baby away to give her boyfriend.

Chickory told RM Glen Brown that Spence did agree to give away the baby because the child's father had died and when the time came for her to give up the baby, she changed her mind.

Allegations are that two weeks after the baby was born, Spence gave the baby to Chickory who would, in turn, give the baby to her fiancé who was residing overseas. It is reported that when the man came to take the baby, Spence refused to meet him.

On May 28, Chickory took the baby to her fiancé who it is alleged took the baby to Montego Bay, St. James. Since then, neither Chickory nor Spence has been able to locate the whereabouts of the baby.
