In just two days before the world crossed over to new year, 2025, Mogwase police and community members found themselves having to witness yet another gruesome crime scene which claimed a life of a young woman in her late 20s allegedly in the hands of her boyfriend.
Lieutenant Colonel Sam Tselanyane said they have opened an inquest docket investigating a murder which occurred at a veld in Lotwane section at Ramokokastadt on Monday, December 30th. It Is alleged that on the same day, around 7am, members of the community were walking past that area when they saw the male and female bodies.
The female body was found lying naked next to a footpath in the veld with lacerated stab wounds on her neck. The victim’s clothes and underwear were hidden about 30 metres deeper into the bush. Furthermore, about 20 metres from her body was a body of a male person hanging from a tree with a rope around his neck.
“Preliminary police investigations revealed that the two were allegedly living together, but the woman had allegedly moved out due to domestic violence the previous week. It was also confirmed that on the night of the murder and suicide incident, the murder suspect had phoned the victim to come and collect one of their children who was crying relentlessly and in need of her mother.”
“The woman responded to that call and that was the last time she was seen alive.”
Lt Col Tselanyane said the two deceased were positively identified as 38-year-old Khumo Moatshe and his 26-year-old girlfriend, Kefilwe Mosane. Police investigations continues.
