The accused allegedly called the baby’s grandmother, who found her daughter (age unknown) and granddaughter (2) in the house.
“The grandmother looked for the baby, but couldn’t find him, and, upon further investigation, it was suspected that her daughter had been drugged,” says Ramphora.
When the police arrived on the scene they found an empty medicine bottle on the floor.
