Woman's Body Found In Septic Tank A Week After She Went Missing

Free State police in South Africa have opened a murder case after a woman's body was found in a septic tank in her yard with multiple stab wounds.

Mookgo Felli Ramateletse's remains were discovered nearly a week after she went missing from her home in QwaQwa's Boiketlo village.

Her husband, Moeketsi Joseph Ramateletse, said he last spoke to her on the phone before she vanished on April 10.

He went to look into her business, which was also in their yard and discovered that it had been broken into and ransacked.

W/O Mmako Mophiring, a provincial police spokesperson, stated that on Sunday, a search team comprised of Namahadi police, Phuthaditjhaba crime intelligence, the K9 unit, and public order police began looking for the 33-year-old.

"Inside her yard, where she was staying and running the business, police found a pair of slippers and lipstick inside a half-opened septic tank. 

"Maluti-a-Phofung fire and emergency medical services units were [therefore] dispatched to the crime scene to investigate the septic tank.

"On their arrival, they inspected the sewage tank and discovered the body of a woman that was removed."

Moeketsi identified the body as that of his wife.

Ramateletse was found wearing black tracksuit pants and a pink tracksuit top.

"Her upper body had multiple stab wounds. A case of murder is being investigated and no arrests have been made yet," Mophiring said
