Durban mom Megan Prins, who was due to stand trial this week on a charge of murdering her seven-year-old son, has died, authorities have been informed
Her matter was on the roll of the Durban high court for Monday July 6.
Her trial had initially been set down for October last year but had to be adjourned because a report from a private psychiatrist had not yet been received. The private psychiatrist's report was expected to shed light on whether Prins knew the difference between right and wrong when she smothered her son at an Umhlanga bed and breakfast establishment in July 2018, and whether she could act in accordance with that.
At the time of the alleged crime, Prins, who was a registered nurse, was living with her son Sloan at a flat in Kensington Heights, in Morningside, Durban, after a break-up in the relationship with his father.
