Then his mother asked for a DNA test to prove that Shoba was the father.
They obviously didn't want to have to go through all of that and they knew that Shoba's family wasn't interested, so they figured they would just leave it be.
Instead of pushing them more and more, they just said, let's leave them alone.
So they did, hoping that the family would eventually come around.
As that was happening, Zeho's family set up a baby shower to take place on May 4th.
As some time passed, it did seem that maybe Shoba was starting to come around just a bit.
By June 4th, 2020, Shoba texted Zeho to ask her if she wanted to come over to his place to make a list of all of the things that the baby still needed.
She was a bit hesitant to go over because she was eight months pregnant at this point and was really tired, but she knew that she needed certain things to be ready before the baby arrived, so she went over to Shoba's place to make the list, telling her family that she would be back home that same night.
However, when hours passed and the next day arrived without Zeho returning home, her family began to worry.
The first thing they did was called Shoba because they knew that she had been at his flat.
He told her family that she was picked up by 10 p.m.
last night in an Uber, and after that, he doesn't know where she went.
This immediately caused concern for her family, so they immediately called the police to file a missing persons report for Zeho.
But it was not long before her family got the worst possible news that they could have expected out of this.
The day after Zayho was last seen, by the morning of June 5, 2020, a few local residents stumbled across a body hanging from a tree in the area of Durban Deep near Rudyport.
The body was hanging from a tree by the road about 1.5 kilometers away from the closest home.
This was an area that was trafficked by many people throughout each day, so that is how her body was found so quickly.
The body belonged to a heavily pregnant woman who was initially thought to have been stabbed one time in her torso and was hanging from a tree.
Now, because of the fact that Zeho was just reported missing by her family, police pretty quickly made the connection.
They contacted her family to ask them to identify her and right away, they knew that this body belonged to pregnant 28-year-old Zeho Pule.
