Cina Ma found safe and well in a North Shore show home
I was absolutely excited to hear the news that Cina(Xin Xin) Ma was found in a show home just minutes away from her Albany home, around 3.15pm this afternoon.
I heard this news around 4.25pm. A friend who works in the Chinese media told me to "listen the radio at 5".
He was informed by the liaison officer that an "important news conference" on this case will be held at 5 pm. He asked what that is about, the officer refused to go into details, but simply two words: "good news".
Although the police still did not reveal too much details of the case, I understand that Cina was not physically harmed, reasonably well, just confused on what's going on around her.
Police officially announced this news at the 5pm press conference, but still refuse to disclose details such as the motive or whether a ransom demand has been made.
Cina was reunited with her family not long after the rescue.
A 25 years old Chinese national was arrested as the result of this. This man is due to appear in North Shore District Court tomorrow, where I expect more details of this kidnap should be revealed.
Anyway, I'm glad that the kid is safe, an innocent life saved.
