The 38-year-old father from Port Elizabeth who flung his baby off a shack roof earlier this month‚ was released on a warning by the New Brighton Magistrate’s Court this morning.
The child abuse charges were retained but he was released due to a petition brought before court deeming him unable to pay for bail as he has no money.
Community members and his 35-year-old wife were elated at the news as the couple returned to Joe Slovo township where they will be temporarily staying with a neighbour.
He has been instructed by the court to arrange visits with his one-year-old daughter‚ who is under the supervision of a social worker in Uitenhage.
The case will return to court on May 29.
