The family at Khudutlou village in Taung is still in disbelief after the untimely death of their daughter. This comes after the lifeless body of Gosego Modise (19) was found in an unused pit latrine with stabbing wounds on Saturday morning.
It is alleged that a Grade 11 learner at Seabo High School embarked on a drinking spree with a man who is known to the community on Friday night. However, things allegedly took a wrong turn after Gosego refused to go with him to his house and had sex.
One source said: “This guy dragged Gosego to his house where a fight allegedly ensued. He assaulted Gosego and allegedly raped her. He allegedly stabbed her and disposed of her body in a toilet next door.
“Gosego’s body was discovered by children on Saturday morning while checking the eggs laid by their hens. The parents in that house were not there and these children called for help. The police were called and Gosego’s body was taken to the mortuary.”
According to information, the suspect in this matter who had biting wounds was taken in for questioning by the police and later released pending investigations. It is alleged that Gosego gnawed him while trying to defend herself.
The North West police spokesperson, Lieutenant Col Amanda Funani could not confirm whether the deceased was raped or not.
“At this stage, we can only confirm that we are investigating a murder case. A woman was found dead inside the toilet next door. We have not made any arrest and investigating into the matter continues,” Funani said.
Meanwhile, the ANC Women’s League in North West said it is shocking over the atrocity.
ANCWL acting provincial secretary, Bitsa Lenkopane said: “Children are required to be at home especially at night, but it gives no one any right to harm them in any way if they are not.
“In fact, it is every adult’s responsibility to protect and bring children home safe every time. The family says Gosego received a call that lured her to go out on Friday night where she never returned and rather found murdered on Saturday morning.”
Lenkopane calls on the justice system to leave no stone unturned to ensure a conviction and maximum punishment for the murderer. She added that they will give the aggrieved family the necessary support during this difficult time and call on the community of Khudutlou and other areas in the region to rise against incidents that seek to harm women and children including all the vulnerable and weak groups in their locale.
“Observing all the Covid-19 protocols, the league will gather in court during the appearance of the suspect and call for no bail to be granted to him,” she said.
