The body of a woman who went missing in Paarl almost a month ago has been found in a shallow grave in the backyard of her boyfriend’s house.

Nicola Pienaar‚ 28‚ was reported missing by her psychologist mother‚ Marlaine Pienaar-Vice‚ on January 8.

 Her boyfriend of almost a year‚ Jacobus Oosthuizen‚ 32‚ also from Paarl‚ was later arrested in Port Elizabeth on a charge of theft of a motor vehicle after he was found sleeping in the gold Peugeot belonging to Pienaar-Vice.

 Oosthuizen told police at the time that he and Pienaar had a fight and that he then dropped her off in Oudtshoorn.

“There is not much to say anymore. I just want to know why he [allegedly] did it. He must tell me now‚” said a devastated Pienaar-Vice.

 “I have taken a tranquiliser so I am numb...I’m feeling numb and my psychologist friend is taking good care of me. I am now waiting for the police to come and see me.”

Further details of Pienaar’s death have not yet been released.
