She claimed the Directorate of Criminal Investigations and the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions had remained silent despite persistent efforts to seek an explanation.

Ms Maribe, who is facing murder charges, filed a contempt of court application, arguing that she had not been allowed access to her house.

The journalist claimed she had to beg for clothes and accommodation as her house remained secured as a crime scene.
