Pretoria - A mother accused of murdering her baby boy did not show up for her trial on Monday as she was “fearful” of the court, her husband (who is her co-accused) and the “paparazzi who are on her case”.
She also received death threats and things simply became too much for her, Juanita Oldewage, 28, (who now uses her maiden surname, Fourie) told Pretoria High Court Judge Lettie Molopa.
The judge issued a warrant on Monday for Fourie’s arrest, but held it over to on Monday provided she appeared in court to explain herself.
The former blonde, now a redhead, was due to go on trial this week with her husband, Christiaan Oldewage, for the murder of little Christiaan.
He died in December 2011, three weeks after birth and soon after he was admitted to hospital with a fractured skull and broken ribs.
