Cape Town - A 22-year-old Cape Town woman has appeared in the Wynberg magistrate's court charged with the "contract killing" of six-month-old Jordan Leigh Norton.
The baby was stabbed to death in her Rondebosch East home last week.
The State claims that the suspect, Dina Manuela Rodriques, hired the four men who forced their way into the Norton home and killed the baby.
Thet also stole a safe.
The State alleges that Rodriques can be linked to the murder because of evidence found at the scene and statements she made to the police.
She has been charged with murder and the case has been postponed to next Monday for further investigation.
