A murder case against a woman who was arrested for allegedly killing her daughter (1) was postponed by the Taung Magistrate’s Court until 22 March 2022. Rebaone Cordelia Badise (27) from Dryharts village near Taung, was arrested on 12 March 2022 after the lifeless body of her baby was found in an open veld.
North West police spokesperson, Col Adele Myburgh said: “The grandparents alleged that they saw Rebaone leaving the house with her daughter, but returned alone later.
“Upon arrival, her grandparents allegedly questioned her about the whereabouts of her daughter, but she could not give any explanation. The police were contacted and subsequent investigations led the police to the bush in the area, where the body of the baby was found.
“The preliminary investigation revealed that the deceased had what appeared to be a stab wound in her neck. The baby was declared dead on the scene by Emergency Medical Rescue Services (EMRS) paramedics,” she said.
Meanwhile, the North West Police Commissioner, Lieutenant Gen Sello Kwena lauded the grandparents for quickly reporting the incident and working with the police to ensure that the baby’s mother faces the full might of the law.
