GAUTENG. – The body of a sixth woman was found this morning (Tuesday) beside the road in Moshoeshoe Street, Kwa-Thema in Springs. The bodies of five other women have been discovered recently in the Kempton Park area and surrounding regions.
According to a post by Live Traffic NPC, the body was found beside the road. Nuusflits requested police comment on the incident. Brigadier Athlenda Mathe, the national police spokesperson, was still on her way to the scene and could not provide immediate comment.
The latest discovery comes as police investigate five women whose bodies have been found recently in and around Kempton Park and Olifantsfontein. Questions have arisen about the possibility that the incidents are connected. However, police have warned that it cannot be assumed without question that a serial killer is responsible for the deaths. Police have assigned a specialised team to investigate whether there is any link between the cases.
The latest incident in Kwa-Thema has not yet been confirmed by police as part of the same series of murders. Nuusflits awaits police comment.
