Cachalia says, “We reported earlier that there were nine bodies, and I must say, just using that language, I’m not sure what the right language is to use in these circumstances, but these were all young women, nine victims.

Eight have been positively identified now; earlier in the week it was four, and there is one outstanding.

So, seven families have been informed, but one family hasn’t yet because we don’t have the address yet.

And we will only make this announcement once the family has been informed.” Video | [GRAPHIC CONTENT] Ekurhuleni Murders | Body of ninth woman found in Boksburg
