The police charged Charity and her son with criminal conspiracy and culpable homicide.
Magistrate Roseline Iyorshe did not take their plea and adjourned the matter till February 8 for further mention and transferred the case file.
Earlier, the prosecution counsel, Inspector Jonah Uletu, told the court that on January 24, the Divisional Police Officer of ?E? Division Police Station, Makurdi, received information that Charity and her son beat up Fanen, her in-law living with her.
