Ms Lumka Mahanjana who is the spokesperson of The National Prosecution Authority for the Northern Gauteng reported that the accused will be appearing in the Brits Magistrate Court facing murder charges. She added bag Chipo spied for bail but it was denied and was remanded in custody to 15 May as she will be facing murder charges, however, more investigations are being done.

“It is alleged that Wendy flipped her newborn child into a 20litre of boiling water after her first attempt to abort the baby before it was born failed,” the spokesperson said.

She added that after boiling her child Wendy put the baby in a plastic bag and she and her friends went to bury her in a nearby bush, she then made her friends make a promise that they would keep the secret between themselves.
