Police are currently saying they do not intend to take [Advocate Mahere] to court today despite all paperwork having been completed and her having turned herself into CID Law and Order this morning at 9 am. They have offered no rational explanation for this.
Mahere is being accused of peddling falsehoods concerning a recent incident in which a police officer is alleged to have beaten up a mother and injured her baby.
