South Africa investigates series of murders of nine women

In South Africa, residents of the urban district of Ekurhuleni, Gauteng province, were afraid of the appearance of a serial killer there. The Tanzania Times writes about this.

In two months, from the end of July to the end of September, an unknown person killed nine women in the district. The remains of the latter were discovered on Saturday, September 26, near a cemetery in the Tembisa area. In connection with another similar crime, the victim of which was a woman, two local residents were detained, but their guilt has not been proven.

All victims are between 20 and 30 years old. The police admitted that all the massacres were carried out in a similar way. The crimes were combined into one proceeding, but investigators said that it is not yet possible to talk about the appearance of a serial killer in the area. It is also known that a suspect was detained in July, but after this the attacks on women continued.
