Eleven women have been found dead in Ekurhuleni municipality in South Africa over the past 10 weeks. According to Punch, police have discovered another body, bringing the total number of women found dead in the area to 11.
The victims were mostly in their 20s and 30s, with some found partially undressed and showing signs of sexual assault, France 24 reports. This has raised fears that a serial killer could be responsible for the deaths.
Police have offered a reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspected killer or killers, France 24 reports, though the amount was only specified by France 24 as $25,000. The deaths have sparked a national outcry over violence against women in South Africa.
