her the all clear.

But mother Ms Clarene Butterfield was still thanking P.c. Simon Payne who saved the two-month-old's life.

P.c. Payne gave Kemba emergency first aid when he realised she was choking because her tongue was blocking her throat.

The Bermudian officer had arrived with two colleagues at Kemba's home in Somerset in the early hours of Wednesday. He said: "I ran to the house and the mother ran out with the baby and gave her to me.

"We jumped into the back of the Police car. The baby's tongue was down in the back of her mouth, so I did a finger sweep of her mouth and brought her tongue forward. Then she seemed to pick up.'' Kemba was taken by ambulance to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital and later released, but then her condition worsened and she was rushed back.

The baby was kept over Wednesday night under observation on a children's ward, with her mother. She was discharged yesterday.

Ms Butterfield said: "She is doing much better. She is breathing much better although she does have a cough.

"I am really tired because I have to keep an eye on her all the time to make sure she is all right.'' She said she was grateful to the Police officer for his actions.
