Man charged with murder of missing Ballarat woman Kobie Parfitt

A man has been charged with the murder of Ballarat mother Kobie Parfitt, who has been missing since April.

The 31-year-old Wendouree man was arrested about 5.45pm yesterday in Kinglake, north-east of Melbourne.

He has been charged with one count of murder and will appear at the Melbourne Magistrates' Court today.

Kobie Parfitt hasn't been seen since April. Police are now treating her disappearance as a murder.

Human remains found in a mine shaft last week at Snake Valley in regional Victoria are believed to be Ms Parfitt but are still to be formally identified.

They were found as part of the investigation into the 43-year-old's disappearance.

Detectives spoke to a 31-year-old Mount Clear woman after the grim discovery but she was released without charge.

Police say the investigation is ongoing.

Ms Parfitt was last seen alive at a property on Hickman Street in Ballarat on April 28.

She was a mother-of-four, a grandmother-of-three and a former aged care and disability worker.
