South African police have discovered the tenth body of a woman in Ekurhuleni, east of Johannesburg, bringing the total number of women found dead in recent months to ten. The body was identified by a friend who had been with the victim at a bar the previous evening. Police Commissioner Tommy Mthombeni stated that while they could not rule out the possibility of a serial killer, it was too early to confirm this due to the early stage of the investigation.
