ZENOBIA Seas (32), the woman accused of killing her daughter at the coast, failed in her formal bail

Seas is charged with the murder of her three-year-old daughter, Ava Owoses, last year. She has another daughter aged five. The state's reasons for objecting to the granting of bail included that it would not be in the interest of the public and the administration of justice; that the state had a strong case in a serious offence that could attract a heavy sentence; that Seas could abscond or commit suicide if released; and that she may interfere with state witnesses. In her application, Seas argued that she would seek psychological help to determine her state of mind at the time of the incident, and that she had a constitutional right to be free to do so.
