Tracking the Kempton Park Killings | Where the 9 bodies have been found, their names and faces

Nine bodies have been identified in connection with the Kempton Park killings in Ekurhuleni, Gauteng, South Africa. The victims, all women in their late 20s and 30s, were found in three distinct locations: Pomona, Dawn Park, and the Olifantsfontein area. The first body was discovered in July, followed by the latest in Dawn Park on Thursday, which has been identified as Gracious Nkomo, a 28-year-old woman from Zimbabwe who had been missing for weeks.

Deputy National Police Commissioner Tebello Mosikili has engaged the Director-General of the State Security Agency to assist in the intelligence component of the investigation. The police have pledged to continue their operations until justice is served for the eight women who have fallen victim to this violence.
