The SAPS urges members of the public not to circulate or share photographs of persons alleged to be linked to the murders of women in the area (Ekurhuleni).

SAPS has not issued any identikit, wanted poster or photograph of a suspect or suspects in connection with these cases, according to spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe.

“Members of the public are cautioned against sharing unverified information, as this could result in innocent people being wrongly identified, harassed or targeted.

“SAPS will communicate officially should any suspect be positively identified and should the public’s assistance be required.”

SAPS assures the public they are following every lead that may assist investigators in establishing the circumstances surrounding the murders and identifying those responsible.

Communities are urged to rely only on information issued through official SAPS communication channels and to report any information that may assist the investigation to the police.
