Gauteng police cannot rule out serial killer in Ekurhuleni
Investigators are examining links between the cases as concerns grow over the killings
Gauteng Police Commissioner Tommy Mthombeni has stated that they cannot rule out the possibility of a serial killer operating in Ekurhuleni following a series of murders. This comes after the discovery of another woman's body in Tembisa on Saturday morning. Ten bodies have been found in Ekurhuleni and one in Soweto over a period of three months.
Mthombeni notes that the Modus operandi of the victims shows similarities, but it is too early to confirm a connection to the other victims. He assures that they have dealt with the current crime scene, but as of now, it cannot be conclusively confirmed whether the latest body is part of the same serial killer pattern or not.
