A woman accused of murdering a mum-of-four and dumping her body down a mine shaft had reportedly walked free from jail days earlier.
Police said that Kobie Parfitt, a 43-year-old mother of four, was last seen alive on April 28 last year and what are said to be her remains were found at the bottom of a mine shaft on December 22.
Her body was said to have been found in Snake Valley, near the Australian city of Ballarat.
Two people are charged over the alleged killing – Shannon Jeffrey, 32, and Brendan James Prestage, 31.
Jeffrey was sentenced to four months in jail on December 17, 2019 after breaching a two-year community corrections order she had received in March that year.

A judge released Jeffrey after she pleaded guilty to luring a man to her home who was then attacked by her boyfriend in a ‘brutal, ice-fuelled attack’, reports Mail Online
In releasing Jeffery in March, Judge Bourke reportedly said he was prepared to ‘give Jeffrey a chance’ because she had family support, a desire to raise her two children and the fact she had a bad relationship with her violent co-offender.
The Age previously reported that investigators in the case believed that Ms Parfitt may have been murdered on the day she was last seen.
Detective Inspector Stamper said there had been no activity on Ms Parfitt’s phone or bank accounts since her disappearance.
He said Ms Parfitt had lived at a Hickman Street residence on and off for some time and had been estranged from her family, who she last saw in March.
She was reportedly a mother-of-four, a grandmother-of-three and a former aged care and disability worker.
The case is ongoing.
