Zenobia Seas murder case postponed till 2017

The 32 year-old mother Zenobia Seas, who stands accused of murdering her two year-old daughter in September this year, will remain in custody while the police is still conducting its investigation.

Seas appeared at the Magistrates Court in Henties Bay this week. Her case was postponed till 13 February 2017.
During her court appearance her defence lawyer Mpokiseng Dube said that he is currently preparing for a formal bail application. The date for the hearing is yet to be determined. In the meantime Seas will remain in police custody though. When Seas first appeared in the Swakopmund Magistrates Court in September a large crowd had gathered there. Bail was denied then for a variety of reasons, amongst others to ensure her own safety.
The crime sent a shock wave throughout the country. Seas is accused of murdering her daughter Ava Owoses and attempting to burn herself and the child in her car at Mile 108 after she had written down the entire crime in a notebook. Members of the Swakopmund Neighbourhood Watch were the first at the scene and successfully prevented her from burning herself. Seas allegedly had sent an SMS to her ex-boyfriend, who was also the father of the child, informing him of the crime, where after the Neighbourhood Watch and police reacted.
Seas leaves behind another child. She was employed at Husab Uranium Mine.
