Two women found murdered in abandoned buildings in Theunissen

In the Free State, police have launched a task force to investigate the murders of two women discovered in abandoned buildings. The victims, Nthabiseng Moiloa, 32, and Kedibone, 25, were found dead in separate locations on Saturday and Sunday. Police were alerted to the first crime scene by a member of the Neighbourhood Watch at Le Roux Street around 3:40am.

Upon arrival, officers discovered Moiloa half-naked with numerous head and stomach injuries. She was pronounced dead on the scene. The second victim, found on Sunday at around 6pm, was also half-naked with severe head injuries in a toilet at an abandoned building near a Day Care Centre. Kedibone's body showed signs of decomposition.

Police are seeking the public's assistance to identify the suspects, who remain at large. The motive behind the murders remains unknown, but it is part of the ongoing investigation. The police are also preparing to launch the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence and Femicide, which will take place in the Lejweleputswa District.
