OFM News previously reported that the body of the 22-year-old Nthabiseng Rampai was recently discovered in her bedroom at De Wet Street in Reitzpark, Welkom. Upon discovery, Rampai's hands were tied and she had strangling marks around her neck. There was also a written message next to her stating: "STOP ASSAULTING INMATES". It is alleged Rampai was raped and murdered in her bedroom by a suspect who waited for her father to leave the house before he broke in and attacked her.
