DISPENSARY CORNER
AN armed bandit in Indonesia has been captured after he stopped in the middle of a home invasion to take care of a crying baby. Kojek Mista and four fellow thieves broke into a house near Jakarta armed with swords, guns and knives, according to the Jakarta Globe newspaper. They tied up the adults inside, but in the process woke a sleeping baby who started to cry. Mista had already immobilised the babys mother and nanny, and the childs cries awakened something in his conscience, he admitted during a police press conference last week. I asked his mother how to make him stop crying, and she said he had to be fed with milk. I gave it to the baby while cradling him...not long after that the baby fell asleep so I put him in bed, he said. The gang then escaped with goods worth about $5000 but were later captured, with the impromptu carer now facing ten years in prison.
