Melice Jacobs, the tragic Eastern Cape woman known as “Freezer Mom”, is now a free woman. Her charges of four counts of murder and one of concealment of birth have been withdrawn after the infant bodies found in her freezers went missing from the custody of the health department’s Mthatha forensic pathology unit.
