Summary

South African police have discovered the body of a tenth woman in the Ekurhuleni municipality near Johannesburg, bringing the total number of women's bodies found in the area since July to ten. The latest body was discovered on September 26 in Tembisa South. Police have identified similarities in some of the killings but have not confirmed conclusive evidence that the same person or people are responsible for all deaths. Two women were arrested and charged in relation to one killing on September 17, but police have not linked them to the other cases. The victims were predominantly women in their 20s or 30s, several found naked or partially clothed near main roads. The discoveries have sparked national concern about violence against women in South Africa and prompted an expanded police response including additional personnel and drones.
