Seas trial kicks off on 23 Nov
The murder case of a Swakopmund mother accused of killing her two-year-old daughter has been transferred to the High Court.
Zenobia Seas, 32, is accused of killing her daughter by suffocating her with a piece of cloth along the Henties Bay - Terrace Bay road in September last year.
The transfer follows the prosecutor-general's decision which was read out in the Swakopmund Magistrate's Court on 25 October.
Court records show that, Seas who is still in police custody, is expected before the High Court on 23 November this year.
At the beginning of her case last year, the State refused her bail citing the seriousness of the crime and advised her to apply for formal bail.
Seas, who was employed at Husab Mine at the time of the incident, allegedly drove from Swakopmund with her daughter to about 112 kilometres north-west of Henties Bay, where the toddler was killed.
It is suspected that after suffocating the child, Seas put firewood under her vehicle in an effort to burn herself and the daughter inside the car.
The wood had, however, not caught fire when the police arrived at the scene and arrested her.
