JOHANNESBURG, Oct 12 (NNN-KBC) — The South African Police Service (SAPS) say a 21-year-old man will be charged with murder following the discovery of six bodies – five of them in an advanced state of decomposition – in a building in the main city, Johannesburg.
The local News24 site reports that the bodies were of six women.
Police said they launched an investigation after complaints of a foul smell coming from one of the rooms in the building.
The body of a woman was first discovered in the building and five more bodies were found outside “where there is a makeshift workshop and rubbish dumpsters”, the police statement said. All six reportedly had their hands and feet tied from behind.
The 21-year-old man – who is believed to be the last person to have been seen with the woman – had been arrested, the statement added.
