Tamika Chesser, a former reality television personality, is reportedly expecting a child while facing charges related to the gruesome death of her boyfriend in Port Lincoln.
The 34-year-old was taken into custody in June after authorities discovered the remains of her boyfriend, Story, at their residence.
Witnesses claim that Chesser was observed strolling through town with her dogs and carrying a bag just hours after the alleged murder.
Health Minister Chris Picton confirmed that Chesser’s pregnancy began before her transfer to James Nash House.
“Our healthcare facilities and staff are collaborating with corrections to ensure all established protocols are adhered to,” Picton stated.
Officials have emphasized that ensuring the well-being of the unborn child is of utmost importance.
The identity of the child’s father is currently unknown, and the baby is expected to be born early in the new year.
Chesser’s next court hearing is scheduled for next month, at which time detectives will determine what charges to proceed with.
