Anastacia Oluoch, the Kenyan fugitive in Maryland, USA who jumped bail in 2007 after getting indicted by a Baltimore grand jury on abuse charges, was today extradited from Kenya and is now back in custody in Baltimore. Oluoch, while working as a caretaker for 90-year-old John Taylor, was caught on surveillance camera setup by the old man’s daughter physically assaulting the old helpless man who was bedridden after suffering two strokes.
She was indicted by a Baltimore grand jury on assault, reckless endangerment and abuse of a vulnerable adult, but escaped the country immediately after being released on bail to await trial. She had been on the run until she was captured in Kenya in August 2011.
John Taylor has since passed away. “I just really wish my dad was here to see this. I know that he’s in heaven right now because his daughter did not let him down,” said Jaki Taylor, John Taylor daughter who installed the surveillance cameras after suspecting her father was being abused
Baltimore City Police, FBI agents and Interpol worked with Kenyan officials to track her down and bring her back to Baltimore, where she will face trial. Oluoch’s family members in Baltimore also provided detectives with information on her whereabouts that led to her capture, say Baltimore City Police.

Police and FBI agents to bring Kenyan suspect back to US
BALTIMORE (AP) – Baltimore police say a woman depicted in a video allegedly abusing an elderly man in 2007 is being extradited to the U.S. from her home country of Kenya.
Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says 59-year-old Anastacia Oluoch is being flown from Nairobi overnight and will arrive at Dulles Thursday afternoon, when she will be transported to Baltimore.
Guglielmi says Oluoch fled Baltimore in 2007 after being charged with assault and abuse of a vulnerable adult in the beating of a 90-year-old man.
The alleged assault was captured on video surveillance installed by the victim’s daughter in a nursing home where he lived. Guglielmi says the FBI had been in contact with Kenyan authorities for years trying to get Oluoch arrested and extradited. She was arrested in Kenya last year.
