South African police on Saturday found another body in Ekurhuleni, east of Johannesburg, bringing to 10 the number of women found dead in the municipality over the past two months.
The discovery adds to growing concern over violence against women in a country long plagued by violent crime, while police work to establish whether the killings are connected.
The body was found in the Tembisa township, police said, without providing further details.
“At this stage, we can only confirm the discovery of the body. Crime scene management and all the necessary role players are currently on the scene,” police spokeswoman Brigadier Brenda Muridili said.
