- She gave a reason why she didn’t want a lawyer
A woman accused along with her husband of murdering their infant son northwest of Brisbane has bizarrely claimed she will not get a lawyer because she is ‘trusting the Lord’ to give her ‘the words she needs to say’ ‘.
Murder charges were laid against Noemi Kondacs and her husband Reinhardt Albert Bosch in the High Court in Brisbane on Thursday.
The couple is accused of killing their son Rhuan at their home in Yugar on November 3, 2022.
Ms Kondacs, from Stuttgart in Germany, has refused to seek legal assistance since her first complaint.
Reinhardt Albert Bosch and his wife Noemi Kondacs are both accused of the murder of their son Rhuan, who was found dead in their Yugar estate in November 2022.

“If you allege this seriousness, it would be in your interests to seek legal advice at some point,” High Court Judge Peter Callaghan told Ms Kondacs.
“I’m intrigued… because with an allegation of this severity, I wonder why you wouldn’t seek legal advice?”
When asked if she wanted to speak to someone about legal representation, Ms. Kondacs declined.
“I just trust the Lord to give me the words I need to say,” she told the court.
Judge Callaghan urged her to consider advice, even on how the legal system worked, to ensure her interests could be properly represented.
Police allege Mr Bosch and Ms Kondacs prayed over Rhuan’s injured body before calling an ambulance on the day of his alleged murder.
It is further claimed that Rhuan had ‘visible’ injuries when police discovered the ‘confrontational’ scene.
Ms. Kondacs is also accused of failing to provide the necessaries of life.
Mr Bosch is charged with murder, torture and assault occasioning actual bodily harm while armed with an offensive instrument
Mr Bosch was committed to stand trial at the High Court last October on charges of murder, torture and assault occasioning actual bodily harm while armed with an offensive instrument.
William Sun, acting on behalf of Bosch, said Thursday that his office would benefit from submitting comments on his client’s torture charges.
Mr. Bosch and Ms. Kondacs have not yet entered pleas to the charges.
Both cases will be heard in court again on May 9.
Dates for the trials of Bosch and Ms. Kondacs have not yet been set.
