Police seek missing three year old child
Rossi Matuvova not seen since last month
Police area appealing for any information relating to the whereabouts of 3 year old Rossi Matuvova.
He arrived in the UK on 16/8/04 travelling with a man known as Fernando Matuvovo who alleges that he is Rossi's father.
They were on a flight to Rome from Luanda in Angola with a stop over in the UK. When they arrived in Rome, officials sent them back to the UK for not having the correct documentation.
On their return to the UK they were dealt with by immigration and housed on the 17/8/04 at the Thornecliffe Hotel, North Hyde Lane, Hounslow.
On 31/8/04 Fernando Matuvovo was arrested whilst attempting to travel to France using forged documents, however Rossi wasn't with him.
Fernando says he left Rossi in the crèche at the Thornecliffe Hotel. However, no one at the Thornecliffe Hotel has seen Rossi and the crèche was closed on the day he was supposed to have been left there.
Enquiries by Hounslow Police reveal that that Rossi may also be known as Nkilankosi.
An open mind is being kept as to Rossi's whereabouts but police are anxious to locate him so they can confirm his identity and be reassured of his safety.
