Ekurhuleni’s Deadly Clusters Under Scrutiny | Johannesburg News

Six women have died in recent weeks across Ekurhuleni, with bodies found in KwaThema and Clayville—raising alarms that these could be linked serial killings. Forensic psychologist Professor Gerard Labuschagne warns the geographic clustering, timing, and victim profiles strongly suggest a serial murder pattern, urging police to activate their serial murder protocols and deploy specialists. While authorities haven’t confirmed a killer, Labuschagne stresses that treating the cases as connected ensures focused resources and expert analysis. Public caution is advised as investigations unfold, but officials reassure that a multidisciplinary team is already working to solve the cases and identify victims.
