'I was so mad, if I knew how to kill I would have killed that boy.'

At the pair's court appearance in January 2019, the court was told by prosecutor Steve Rubin that Moletsane's family had revealed to him that Lerato suffered from a mental disability, and that it was estimated she had the mental capacity of a 13-year-old.

While the report was not submitted to the court – meaning it was not accessible to the public – Rubin told the court that a trial date had been set for both accused. While he would not be drawn to comment on the contents of the report, if the report had said Lerato was not fit for trial, a trial date for her would likely not have been set.

Rosy said she was wasn’t too worried about Lerato, and didn’t feel the need to get the police involved. If anything happened to the disabled young woman, her friends would alert her family, she said - although the grandmother did learn the 28-year-old had moved in with her boyfriend. It was a few days later that she noticed the two-year-old had a limp. His mother told Rosy the child had fallen over, an excuse she used again when the child returned a few days later with scratches on his forehead and red marks on his eyes.
