00:06found dead near Johannesburg. Meanwhile, police found a tenth body.

00:23Nitzimba, whose body was found earlier this month.

00:31cause of justice and possessing a dangerous weapon.
00:35The third suspect, who is the brother of one of the female suspects, has not currently

00:58according to AFP.
