Yesterday the mother of the boy was charged with one count of attempted murder after she allegedly tried to drown her two sons in the Murray River.
It is expected her charges will be upgraded to murder.
Outside court, the woman’s lawyer described his client as “confused and upset”.
“She’s pretty upset and really, I think, I got the distinctive impression she doesn’t know what’s going on, not in a legal side of it, just what’s happened with her children,” he said.
“The police were opposing bail, she didn’t ask for bail.
“She said ‘I know these are serious matters and I’m not going to make a bail application’, so she didn’t have to appear.”
The woman’s eldest boy, 9, survived after a dog intervened and attacked her.
A desperate search of the river for his missing five-year-old brother continued today until the discovery late this morning.
