The family of a 20 year old girl who was killed and had her body parts harvested before being dumped her in a culvert about three months ago have issued scathing attack on the killers.
The devastated family of Nthabiseng Motlogelwa, whose murder shook Molepolole village to the core lashed out in anger at the brutal kiiling and called for justice to be done swiftly.
The Voice reported that Nthabiseng's grieving mother, Malebogo Rakala, 39, spoke of how she wanted her daughter's killers to hand over her clothes so she could bury them next to her grave while her angry father called for the hanging of five suspects arrested for her murder.
The distraught parents expressed their emotions after one of the suspects, Keeagile Sekwati unwittingly blurted out to the victim's relatives that he made make extra cash for Christmas by killing a young woman.
"The relatives immediately reported the matter to the police and Sekwati confessed that he gave my daughters' tights to his sister and kept the t-shirt she was wearing when they kidnapped her. He also told us my daughter pleaded with the killers to say a prayer before the murder, " revealed the anguished mother, Malebogo Rakala, 39.
Nthabiseng's grandmother, 82-year-old Kebabonye Motlogelwa said the suspects even confessed before police officers that they normally bury their victims in shallow graves so she was struggling to understand why they simply threw her granddaughter's mutilated body in a culvert."
She was murdered for muti on or around October 2015. Her mutilated body was found naked in a culvert with scratches, knee balls removed with no eyes and parts of the hair shaved.
She also had a deep gash on the chest near the heart, and a wound between her collarbones.
A student at Baisago University, Nthabiseng met her brutal demise during her internship at Molepolole Magistrate court.
Her mother described her as an "obedient and respectful Christian girl who worshiped at Bread of life Church."
Five of the nine suspects held for Nthabiseng's murder are Sibininyana Puso, Moetapele Kgololo, Mosimanegape Moatshe, Mojalemotho Mokate and Sekwati.
Acting on Sekwati's tip off, Police are still on the hunt for four more suspects.
