GAUTENG. – The body of 38-year-old Elizabeth "Tsontso" Moselakgomo, who had been missing since 10 September, has been positively identified by her family at Germiston mortuary. The confirmation comes after the body of a fifth woman was found on Monday.

Puleng Dimpane, acting national police commissioner, has extended her condolences to Moselakgomo's family and loved ones and promised that police will do everything in their power to establish what happened to her. "We will not rest until we have established the truth," Dimpane said.
A multidisciplinary team of detectives and other specialised police units is meanwhile working on the investigation. The team is analysing available evidence, investigating possible links between the cases and following all leads. According to police, a suspect has already been arrested in connection with the discovery of the first body in July. He remains in custody.
