Woman found dead after a month.

On Monday morning, 11 December 2017, the body of a 46 year old woman was discovered in her home in a luxury estate in Mossel Bay. The body was in an advanced stage of decomposition.

According to a police spokesperson from the KwaNonqaba police station in Mossel Bay, the woman last used WhatsApp a month earlier to communicate with other residents of the estate. After that no one heard from her again.

After several enquiries about the whereabouts of the woman, who lived on her own, security personnel gained access to her home by forcing open a door. Once inside they made the gruesome discovery and alerted police.

The only known relative of the deceased is her mother, currently living in KwaZulu-Natal.

Forensic experts will continue to investigate the premises for clues on what caused the death of the woman.

Police opened an inquest docket and will be investigating the matter.
