Three arrested in South Africa over one of nine women's bodies found
The body of Jabulile Ntimba was the ninth to be found recently in an area east of Johannesburg.
In South Africa, three suspects have been arrested in connection with the murder of Jabulile Ntimba, whose body was found in Dawn Park east of Johannesburg. This marks the end of a series of nine recent cases of violence against women in the region. The acting police chief, Lt Gen Puleng Dimpane, described the arrests as a breakthrough in the investigation.
The three arrested individuals - a man and two women - are scheduled to appear in court on Monday morning. Police have stated that all nine cases are under investigation, but have not confirmed if all the deaths are connected or if a serial killer is responsible. The grim discoveries of murdered women have sparked fear in South Africa, with the country labeling gender violence a national disaster following protests.
