Police in Ekurhuleni are investigating the discovery of a ninth woman’s body in Dawn Park, Boksburg, bringing the number of women found dead in the area since July to nine. Police are investigating whether the cases are connected, but a serial killer has not been confirmed. As the investigation continues, we want to understand the psychology behind extreme violence — what can go through the mind of someone who kills, and what factors can contribute to such behaviour?
