An unidentified woman's body was discovered in the York Street area on Saturday night.

Missing Gauteng woman’s search linked to wider Kempton Park probe

The search for missing 38-year-old Elizabeth Moselakgomo in Kempton Park is now linked to a broader investigation into the discovery of four women's bodies in the area over the past two months. Moselakgomo, also known as "Tsontso," disappeared on Wednesday after leaving her home in Rhodesfield for a jog. Her body was found on Saturday night in the York Street area, though authorities have not confirmed if it belongs to her.

The bodies of the other four women have not been identified, and police are investigating whether they were killed locally or elsewhere and then dumped in Kempton Park. A multidisciplinary task force is examining the cases for potential connections between the cases, and the possibility of multiple suspects cannot be ruled out. The SAPS is urging women in the region, especially in Rhodesfield, to take heightened caution due to the ongoing investigations.
