In a Brisbane court, a mother who is suspected of killing her seven-month-old son has been brought to stand trial.
After being apprehended on the day that Rhuan Immanuel Bosch passed away in November 2022, Noemi Kondacs was charged with both murder and torture.
Crown prosecutor Elise Adams withdrew the 23-year-old’s charge of torture in Brisbane Magistrates Court today.
One count of neglecting to provide the boy with the requirements of life between April 11 and November 3, 2022, took the place of the previous accusation.
In October, Reinhardt (Ryan) Albert Bosch, the baby’s father, was brought before the court to face charges of murder, torture, and assault resulting in bodily harm.
On November 2, in the little rural village of Yugar, some 30 kilometers northwest of Brisbane, the two are accused by the prosecution of killing Rhuan.
Following a postponement to peruse declarations and a list of witnesses and exhibits provided by the prosecution, Magistrate Ross Mack committed Kondacs to the Brisbane Supreme Court for trial.
“I am of the opinion that the evidence adduced is sufficient to put you on trial for an indictable offence,” he stated.
Mack advised Kondacs, who was representing herself, to at least look into the possibility of finding a Legal Aid-funded attorney.
According to court documents, Bosch is a youth care worker who was born in Pretoria, South Africa, and Kondacs is a resident of Stuttgart, Germany.
About 6.45 a.m. on November 2, paramedics contacted police to the Yugar residence in reference to a youngster who was not responding, according to the police at the time.
Detective Inspector David Jackman stated, “The investigations revealed injuries to the child that are sufficient for us to charge with murder.”
Bosch has not yet had an indictment filed against him, and both defendants are scheduled to appear in Brisbane Supreme Court on an undisclosed date.
