Racquel Kelly Smith, accused in the disappearance of her daughter Joshlin Smith, drew ire from the public when she smugged about a “nice” Mother’s Day.
Kelly Smith tells media about her Mother’s Day
During a brief court appearance at the Vredenburg Magistrate’s Court on Monday, a pampered Kelly Smith came across as remorseless in her interactions with the media, where she claimed she had a “nice” Mother’s Day despite her circumstances.
According to reports, Kelly, who is pregnant with her fourth child, remains in custody without bail alongside her boyfriend and two other co-accused.
Her comments to the media came as she left the dock, where she expressed her ongoing love for her daughter Joshlin.
What’s the latest in the Joshlin Smith case?
The court case concerning the alleged kidnapping and human trafficking of Joshlin Smith has been postponed to 15 July 2024 for further investigation into the complex charges against Kelly Smith and her co-accused.
During this time, further details of the case remain tightly guarded by the police, with only limited information being released to the public.
However, it has been revealed that two of the accused have confessed to trafficking Joshlin to a sangoma, indicating a possible motive behind her disappearance.
What role did Kelly Smith allegedly play in the disappearance of Joshlin Smith?
Kelly Smith has consistently denied any involvement in her daughter’s disappearance, a stance she maintained throughout the investigation and media interactions.
Despite accusations and the confessions of her co-accused, Kelly has not cooperated with authorities in providing information that could clarify her role, if any, in the events leading to Joshlin’s disappearance.
This has led to a complex and ongoing investigation, as authorities attempt to piece together the events of 19 February 2024, the day Joshlin was last reported seen.
