Overnight the woman, cannot be named to protect the identity of her victim was jailed.

Zephany’s biological parents, Celeste and Morne Nurse, said they never lost hope that she would eventually be found. But according to The Daily Mail their daughter has since rejected them as she apparently considers her kidnapper’s family to be her own.

5. Caster Semenya sends message to haters as international media again question whether she should be running in 800m.

Caster Semenya, the world champion who has testosterone levels three times the normal level found in women, no womb or ovaries, and owing to a chromosomal abnormality, internal testes is the favourite to win gold at the 800m race in Rio on Wednesday.

The South African has used social media to show her haters she won’t be phased by their smear campaigns.

Semenya, who was subjected to gender testing after winning world 800m gold in 2009 is said to be a serious threat to break the 33-year-old world record in the 800 meters, after drugs she was ordered to be on to lower her testosterone were stopped last year after a challenge by another athlete.

6. Pauline Hanson has denied responsibility after her supporters stormed a church service in an anti-Islam stunt.

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has denied responsibility after a group of her supporters stormed a church service in an anti-Islam stunt.

Dressed in Muslim-style attire and chanting anti-Islamic rhetoric. about 10 members of the Party for Freedom disrupted the morning sermon at the Gosford Anglican Church on Sunday.

The church is widely known for its embrace of multiculturalism and refugees reports The Sydney Morning Herald.

Father Rod Bower said some members of the congregation were left “deeply traumatised” by the intrusion.

But Pauline Hanson said yesterday she had no hand in their actions. “I think it’s uncalled for media to blame One Nation or myself for these actions, the same way as Islamic groups warned media of blaming them for [Lindt cafe gunman] Man Monis’ behaviour,” she said.

7. Naturopath to face trial over alleged raw food diet advice for breastfeeding mother.

A Sydney naturopath will face trial over a raw food diet she allegedly devised for a breastfeeding mother, whose baby nearly starved to death.

Marilyn Bodnar, 60, appeared in Campbelltown Local Court yesterday charged with recklessly causing grievous bodily harm and aiding or abetting failure to provide necessities of life to a child. She is yet to enter a formal plea, however, the ABC reports she will plead not guilty.

The baby’s mother, a maternity nurse, had gone to Bodnar seeking advice for her baby son’s eczema. It is alleged Bodnar told the woman, who was still breastfeeding, the eczema was caused by “toxins”, which needed to “be eliminated”, and she advised her to go on a raw food diet of water and watermelon for three days.

When the baby boy became sick and when the mother told Bodnar her child was projectile vomiting, the naturopath allegedly said it was good because he was “deeply eliminating” the toxins.

Bodnar’s lawyer Alex Walker argued the blame lay with the child’s mother, not the naturopath. “Whilst unconventional advice may have been given by Marilyn as to how to cure the infant’s eczema, it is the reckless and negligent actions of the infant’s mother, a former registered nurse, that directly impacted the child’s health.”

Bodnar was committed to stand trial at Parramatta District Court next month.
