‘It’s too early to link the killings’ - Acting Gauteng Police Commissioner
Gauteng police are investigating the deaths of four women found in the Rhodesfield area, though officials state it is premature to link the cases to a single perpetrator. A task team has been formed as families await identification of bodies found in the vicinity.
Why it matters
The discovery of multiple bodies in a single area has raised significant public safety concerns and prompted a formal police investigation in South Africa.
Gauteng deputy provincial commissioner Major General Fred Kekana
KEMPTON PARK - Acting Gauteng Police Commissioner Fred Kekana said investigators have found some similarities, but there's no evidence yet that the cases involve one perpetrator.
Four women were found dead, partially clothed, with visible bruising and their bodies were discovered in the same general area around Rhodesfield.
Police have formed a task team to investigate the deaths.
"While there are similarities in some of the circumstances surrounding the cases, it will be premature at this stage to conclude that the four cases are linked or that they involve one perpetrator."
