Snuffed out by his Mommy

A drunken snooze claimed baby's life (from the Cape Son - by Basil Davids)
Worcester - She had a lekker party. Got drunk with friends, then went and passed out - on her baby. The mother Jonise Smith, would get up again. But it was the last sleep for little Alexander, her baby of 10 months. His mother lay on his and squashed him.

A friend of the drunken mother pulled Alexander from under Smith who was deeply asleep. Paulse said Alexander's arms were hanging limply at his sides. Paulse said she screamed and knew the child was dead.

Smith lives alone with her children Denolson and Wilmarie and formerly little Alexander.

She was in a happy mood at the weekend and just enjoyed herself. (By getting blind drunk?)

"I know it was wrong to drink and not to look after my child properly"

An inquest into the death of the child is in progress.
