Nompumelelo 'Mpumi' Sibanyoni was found dead in her boyfriend Christopher Sibisi's rented backroom in Tembisa on September 21. She had left home the previous day to celebrate Sibisi's birthday but never returned.

The family of a 22-year-old woman who was killed and burnt allegedly by her boyfriend eight months ago is battling to find closure.

Her aunt said she received a call from Nompumelelo's cellphone but it was Sibisi on the other side of the line. She said the 5am call would haunt her forever."I was driving to the boyfriend's place to pick her up when her phone was used to call me. I was expecting her to say she's ready because we had a trip to a wedding in Limpopo, but it was the boyfriend calling to tell me she was dead."

"Her body was found on the cold floor ... naked, [and lying] in a pool of blood with multiple stab and burn wounds. Her clothes and shoes, which were on the bed, were stained with blood, but we still don't know what happened," Sibanyoni said.
