A woman from Trinidad and Tobago identified as Maria Elena Newallo Munro - Yee Keow is being sought after by the Metropolitan police department for trafficking her young child out of the United Kingdom in a bid to avoid a court granting custody of the young girl to her father.

The woman in question has already abandoned two other children in the United Kingdom and has become the centre of allegations into corrupt practices being undertaken at the Trinidad & Tobago high commission in London.

Munro - Yee Keow who is known to the UK Home Office has previously lived in the UK as a student nurse and attended the Bucks University, South West London. She was married to a British national and applied for permanent residency but was denied this request as she had walked away from her marriage and firstborn son and subsequently her letter of support was withdrawn from the Home Office application. The father of that child was granted full legal custody before the courts and Munro - Yee Keow then went on to have other children with two different men whom she also abandoned at very tender ages.

Court extracts show that Munro- Yee Keow falsified documents and applied for a passport even though the Uxbridge county court had granted a preventative steps order in 2005 to the child's father, preventing the child from travelling to Port of Spain Trinidad. Claims of corrupt practices at the London High Commission are being looked into by the foreign affairs minister and all inquiries to that embassy have gone unanswered.

Munro - Yee Keow allowed her mother who was visiting in the UK to travel with her child to Port of Spain without the fathers permission in an attempt to prevent the father of the child gaining temporary custody before the UK courts. Her actions has been seen as an attempt to pervert the course of justice and the Met Police are now investigating whether or not she breached child protection laws and engaged in human and child trafficking because the child was taken out of the country illegally.

The father of the child is now seeking help from the Metropolitan police human trafficking unit and children welfare services to have his daughter located and brought back to the United Kingdom. A new application has been made before the UK courts service to extend its powers to allow Interpol the international policing agency to probe the authorities in Trinidad for help in locating the now (10) year old girl.

Local authorities are now calling for anyone with information about this woman or her whereabouts to come forward, and are asking that the London Metropolitan Police or UK Home Office be notified immediately.
