Odendaalsrus - A Free State woman who is implicated in the brutal murder of a young relative, has been ordered to undergo mental observation.
Twenty-three-year-old Mavis Mahamo made an appearance in the Odendaalsrus Magistrate’s Court today, for the murder of her three-year-old niece.
Karabo Nale was discovered by a shepherd in an open field with 99 stab wounds to her body earlier this month.
Mahamo was arrested soon after the discovery and an okapi knife, which was allegedly used to commit the murder, was found in her possession.
Her mental observation will be conducted in Bloemfontein. The court will announce on August 6 when the observation will commence.
