Stock photo.The case involving a couple charged with murdering their four-month old baby has been postponed to January for further investigations.
“An indictment will be sent to the office of the acting director of public prosecutions in the North West to authorise the transfer,” Mamothame said. “Police reported the incident to the department of social development for social workers to intervene. The intervention led to four of the children being placed under the care of their maternal grandmother,” Mamothame said.
“This information was declared by an uncle of the baby’s mother. Investigations discovered that in June 2021 she forcefully took her two sons from her mother to stay with her and her partner,” Mamothame said. Mamothame said the social worker and his wife took the baby to a Klerksdorp hospital on August 10 and she was immediately admitted.
