One of nine bodies of women found In Ekurhuleni remains unidentified

Cachalia says one out of the nine bodies of women found in Ekurhuleni has not yet been identified

Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia revealed on Sunday that one of the nine unidentified bodies of women discovered in Ekurhuleni remains unreidentified. The remaining eight victims have been positively identified since July this year in Ekurhuleni, Gauteng’s East Rand. The bodies were disclosed by the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Gender-Based Violence and Femicide during a briefing at Pretoria.

Cachalia emphasized that all the victims were young women. Eight families have been informed about the identifications, but the information for the ninth victim is still pending as the family's address has not been confirmed. The police will only make the announcement once the family has been informed.
