A man accused of killing his pregnant partner was denied bail by the Kimberley District Court on Monday (13/06).
Aldean Wilkinson (30) is facing a schedule 5 murder charge after his 28-year-old pregnant partner was killed, said Mojalefa Senokoatsane, regional spokesperson of the National Prosecution Agency.
On 15 May, the police were called to the home of the victim where they found her body with stab wounds. The accused was arrested the next day when he surrendered to the police.
He made a plea for bail during his second appearance in court. Bail was denied, with the main reason being that the accused might interfere with witnesses as some are known to him. He was remanded into custody until his next court appearance on 26 July, while investigations are continuing in this matter, said Senokoatsane.
