According to the BBC World, the police commissioner said it was too soon to say if the latest death was linked to the others, but noted similarities across the cases.

The victims were mostly women in their 20s and 30s, with some found partially or fully naked, and showing signs of violence. MyJoyOnline Ghana reported that the latest body was found near a cemetery in the Tembisa township, and police are working to establish whether the killings are connected.
