Police in South Africa have found the body of a tenth woman in a suburb near Johannesburg, as investigators continue to probe a series of killings that has alarmed the country, according to the BBC.
The discovery adds to a growing case that has drawn national attention to the scale of violence against women in South Africa, a country that already has one of the highest rates of femicide in the world.
Authorities have not yet publicly identified all of the victims or established whether the deaths are linked to a single perpetrator or pattern, and the investigation remains ongoing.
The case has reignited public debate in South Africa over the persistence of gender-based violence and the response of law enforcement, with rights groups and citizens calling for stronger protective measures and more urgent action from authorities.
