THE woman who allegedly murdered her one-year-old child, Lesego Sello, will have to explain the death to the Johannesburg High Court in April next year.

Sello, 19, is alleged to have stabbed her one-year-old child, Basetsana Sello, to death on May 26.

The case was transferred to the Johannesburg High Court sitting in the Palm Ridge Magistrate's Court for trial from April 29 to May 13 next year.

Sello, who is out on R2,000 bail, is alleged to have fed her daughter tablets in an attempt to kill her and when that failed, she stabbed her.
