Missing girl, 3, found asleep in suitcase after huge search

A LITTLE girl whose disappearance sparked a huge police search was found two hours later sleeping inside a suitcase at her home.

Muumbe Hapenga’s father phoned the emergency services yesterday after a frantic and fruitless search of their house in Netherhall, Leicester.

Police cars and helicopters were deployed and neighbours, friends and off-duty officers joined the effort to find her, scouring streets and gardens for the three-year-old.
