According to her brother, she went to the said saloon with the baby to do her hair:

“My sister told me that she visited the hair saloon just a stone’s throw from her shop to do her hair. Her child fell asleep and she decided to leave the baby there after fixing her hair since she wasn’t far away. After some time, she returned to check on her but couldn’t find her.”

The hairdresser questioned by inhabitants of the area said a woman came into the saloon and began playing with the baby before taking with her away. The saloon owner says she believed the child was hers.
