More details are emerging about how one of the families came to identify their loved one, who is one of nine women whose bodies have been found in the Ekurhuleni metro since July.

This comes as fear and grief continue to grip the metro.

The body of 38-year-old Dineo Motapane was found on the side of the road in Kwathema on Tuesday, making her the eighth victim in the police’s broader investigation into the killings, some of which may be linked.

Motapane’s family said that they only found out it was her when they went to open a missing persons case on Wednesday.
