Ninth woman's body found in Johannesburg-area string of killings

Police have found the body of a ninth woman east of Johannesburg, the latest in a series of killings of women in the Ekurhuleni area since July.

• Police found a ninth woman's body wrapped in a sheet on a roadside in Dawn Park, Kempton Park, on Thursday, and imposed a lockdown in the area.
• The nine victims, women in their 20s and 30s, were found across Ekurhuleni since July, several partially clothed and with injuries.
• Gauteng police commissioner Fred Kekana said investigators are considering all possibilities, including multiple suspects, and that it is too early to connect the deaths to a serial killer.
• Deputy national police commissioner Tebello Mosikili said, "We cannot continue picking up bodies."
