Nine women found dead in Ekurhuleni: Security expert maps possible transport links

Nine women's bodies have been discovered across Ekurhuleni between July and September, prompting a security expert, Jan Joubert Jooste, to analyze possible transport links in the area. Jooste's report, published on September 17, identifies a pattern in the locations of the bodies, which include Kempton Park, Pomona, Rhodesfield, Olifantsfontein, KwaThema/Springs, Clayville/Tembisa, and Dawn Park in Boksburg.

The expert notes that while the geographical analysis does not confirm the deaths are connected or committed by a single person, it could provide clues about the movements of a possible offender. Jooste suggests that investigators could examine whether the person had regular familiarity with the wider East Rand Road and transportation network, rather than focusing solely on where a possible offender lives.
