On October 27 at 12:40 p.m., the Houttuin police department in Suriname received an urgent emergency report that a 5-year-old girl had been forcibly abducted by her father against her will near the Martin Luther Kingweg, in the vicinity of the OS Tout Lui Faut public school. Initial witness accounts confirmed the father had made explicit, life-threatening statements that he intended to kill his young daughter during the abduction, prompting an immediate, large-scale law enforcement response. The suspect was confirmed to be traveling with the child in a green Toyota Vitz, triggering a city-wide search operation to locate the moving vehicle. Less than an hour after the alert was issued, at approximately 1:30 p.m., patrol units successfully tracked down the targeted vehicle on Meursweg, where both the father and his unharmed daughter were found still inside the car. Law enforcement officials have not released any additional details regarding the motive behind the abduction, nor have they shared information about pending legal proceedings against the father, as the investigation remains in its early stages.
