Dawn Park

Well, Eddie, you know what I can tell you is that women in South Africa are very concerned about the current state of, of affairs, and they've been concerned for a long time.

Um, yesterday, which was Thursday, I was in, uh, Dawn Park where the ninth victim's body was found.

She was discovered by a woman walking to work.

It was reported by a woman who, uh, got a message from the person who discovered it, passed that onto a community group.

On Tuesday, two bodies were discovered, including one in Guatemala Springs and the positive identification of missing runner Elizabeth Tonsu Mosele Homo.

On Thursday, a ninth body of a woman was found in Dawn Park, Boxburg.

Police have launched a dedicated task team and offered a 400,000 rand reward for information, though they are still investigating whether the cases are connected.

It's such sad news and may Allah make it easy for the families during this difficult time.

And we want to make it clear that no one is above the law.

The case against two women accused of murdering Jabuli Ntamba in Down Park, Boxburg, has been postponed to 1 October for a bail application.

The two suspects appeared before the Boxburg Magistrate Court this afternoon as part of the murder cases linked to the recent discovery of women's bodies in Ekroleni.

However, charges against a third suspect have been withdrawn due to insufficient evidence.

I'm going to be speaking to Ngosi Konamalingam Nisi, Eyewitness News reporter.

And as you heard that earlier today, we discovered that three individuals had been arrested in connection with the murder of Jabuli Ndimba, who was found stabbed with a throat slit in Dawn Park.

And then In Boxburg last Thursday, nine women murdered, five in Kempton Park, two in Williford's Fontaine, one in Guatemala, and one in Dawn Park.

Now a tenth body has been found, a woman in her twenties wrapped in a duvet and dumped in a dam in Morocco, Soweto.

So has the serial killer fear been put to rest? Well, acting police minister Feroz Kachalia says investigators have not yet confirmed conclusively that we are dealing with a serial killer with indications of different modus operandi at play here.

There was also then an issue around victim number seven, around the fact that police knew who she is, but they had yet to get a hold of her family to then inform them um of this unfortunate happening so we are now told that they have an address that they have established and they've sent a team to that address to then unfortunately break the news to um this particular woman's loved ones that she is no more so i think great work has been done given you know, in such instances, there could be a lot of frustration around DNA, you know, et cetera, and just the identification process.

But just looking at how quickly the process has unfolded, I suppose it speaks to the prioritization this particular matter is receiving.

But today, Aubrey, we were in court, this is in the Boxford Maastricht Court, for the matter of one of those victims, um whose name is jabli lindin but now her body was found um in villa lisa the township in boxburg it falls under boxburg and it's lenny uh quite close to dawn park last thursday and i suppose it really was one of those discoveries that really put a lot of us on the edge because The previous day, police had said, we're really hoping that we will not be having another discovery.

To South Africa, where police have arrested a man and two women in connection with the murder of the ninth woman found dead in a kuruleni last week.

The body of 28-year-old Gracious Mpomo was found wrapped in a sheet in Dawn Park, Boxburg.

The series of murders has claimed the lives of five women in Kempton Park, two in Willifonts Fountain, one in Kwatema, and one in Dawn Park.

Following his story, Musaure says one well-wisher has donated US$1,000 while another has offered to assist him by registering a company in his name.

And South African police have arrested three suspects in connection with the murder of a woman whose body was discovered in Dawn Park east of Johannesburg last week.

Authorities describe the arrests as a breakthrough as they investigate eight other recent cases involving women whose bodies were dumped in the same region.

Police say they are still examining whether the killings are linked, but preliminary investigations suggest the latest case may have stemmed from a relationship dispute.
