Update: Charges withdrawn against mother

The woman whose dead baby was found hidden in her handbag, has been released after post mortem results has been obtained by the Middelburg Police.

According to W/O Salome Mzimba the results show that the baby died before birth.

This means that the mother will not be charged with murder.

The concealment of birth docket has been closed because the Middelburg Police felt that evidence that will secure a conviction does not exist.

The woman, who is originally from Marikana, cannot be named because she did not appear in court and the charge against her was withdrawn.

She has since been discharged from hospital.
