Twelve women have been killed in one part of South Africa since July. Here's what we know so far

Twelve women have been killed in the Ekurhuleni region of South Africa since July, a situation President Cyril Ramaphosa described as a "stain on our national conscience." Recent victims include Dineo Motapane, 38, whose battered and partly burned body was found on September 15th in Springs, and Jabulile Ntimba, in her 30s, discovered half-naked and wrapped in a sheet on September 17th in Boksburg. Ntimba's death is being investigated as a possible love triangle, leading to the arrest of two women who have been charged with premeditated murder and defeating the ends of justice, while a man was released due to insufficient evidence.
