South African police confirm the discovery of a 10th woman's body in a series of killings near Johannesburg, raising concerns over a potential pattern of violence against women. The body was found in Tembisa, adding to the growing number of female victims in the region.
The body was found near a cemetery in Tembisa, with police confirming it was likely stoned to death. Provincial police chief Tommy Mthombeni said a post-mortem examination will be conducted to determine the cause of death. The victim's age and clothing details remain unclear.
The discovery comes as police continue to investigate whether the killings are linked. While some cases may be isolated, others could be connected, according to officials. The country faces a severe femicide crisis, with 15 women killed daily on average, and the police face internal scrutiny over their handling of the cases.
