Fourth body discovered in Kempton Park identified as missing runner

Police confirmed the fourth body of a woman found in Kempton Park as runner Elizabeth Moselakgomo

Police have officially identified the fourth body discovered around the Kempton Park area, East of Johannesburg, as that of 38-year-old missing runner Elizabeth Moselakgomo. The family confirmed the identification on Sunday night after locating the body in a ditch. The body remained unconfirmed due to severe injuries initially. A fifth body, also female, was found in the area on Monday, bringing the total to five.

Authorities are warning residents about online dating scams in the Kempton Park region, suspecting these scams as potential causes of robbery and assault. Police have intensified their investigation into the discoveries of the four women's bodies over the past two months, as the area where the bodies were found is close to where Elizabeth Moselakgomo went missing while running.

The Department of Health spokesperson confirmed the family's claim of the body, while police continue to identify the remaining bodies.
