Police yet to find evidence linking separate deaths of 4 women in Kempton Park

Police are yet to find evidence linking the apparent murders of four women whose bodies were found on separate occasions in Kempton Park.

The latest finding was on Saturday evening, when a partially naked and bruised body was found in a bush, similar to the other three discoveries.

The body was found within a thicket of dried grass near the R21 highway, opposite the OR Tambo International Airport.

There are still traces of blood at the site, and across the road is a light pole bearing a poster of missing runner Elizabeth Moselakgomo, known fondly as Tsontso.

She was last seen on Wednesday. Her family is expected to identify the body soon.

Meanwhile, a short drive away is another grassy area along an on-ramp to the highway, where three female bodies were found separately - in July, August, and most recently last Thursday.

One suspect was arrested in connection with the July case and has been in custody since.

Maximum police resources are now on the case, including an Investigative Psychology Unit.
