Alice Kuwandira (23), who resides in Zengeza 5, was remanded in custody to June 27 when she appeared before Chitungwiza magistrate Lazarus Murendo.

The State alleges that on June 8 this year, Kuwandira assaulted her six-year-old son using a shoe heel and cooking stick, accusing him of bedwetting.

The toddler allegedly succumbed to the battering later that night.

Kuwandira was not asked to plead to the murder charge.

Norman Koropi appeared for the State.
