The Namibian Police was alerted to the abuse and Noabes was arrested while her children were placed in the care of a safe harbour.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_276045\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"width: 300px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-276045\" src=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/68616012_2396020547131558_1686581456106684416_n-300x284.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/68616012_2396020547131558_1686581456106684416_n-300x284.jpg 300w, https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/68616012_2396020547131558_1686581456106684416_n-768x728.jpg 768w, https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/68616012_2396020547131558_1686581456106684416_n.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pictured: The 28-year-old Ruth Noabes in the Swakopmund Magistrate\u2019s Court. \u2013 Photo: Ni\u00ebl Terblanc\u00e9<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>At the start of the court proceedings Noabes indicated that she wants to enter a guilty plea but the presiding magistrate, Conchita Olivier, informed the ac2cused person that it would not be possible due the seriousness of the charges she faces. Noabes was informed that she faces a count of attempted murder as a count of assault read with the prevention of Domestic Violence Act.<br \/>Noabes initially indicated that she wants to conduct her own trial but after she was informed about the seriousness of the charges against her, she opted to apply for the services of a state sponsored lawyer to enter her plea at the appropriate time.<br \/>The prosecutor in the matter informed the Court that the state opposes bail on the grounds of the seriousness of the offence, that it would not be in the interest of justice because of the public outcry about the incident after the video has started to spread on social media platforms and because it would not be in the interest of the public and the accused person herself, because she might face violent reprisal from the community.<br \/>Magistrate Olivier ordered that that the accused person approach the prosecutor to obtain the necessary paperwork to apply for Legal Aid. She also informed the accused person that the police will need more time to investigate the matter before remanding Noabes in custody until 24 September.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><!-- MetaSlider 271797 not found --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":276046,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-276044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
