It's the fifth body to be found in the area since April and has raised fears a serial killer might be on the loose.

Two months earlier, the bodies of two sisters aged 16 and 25 were discovered there, after the pair were reported missing in March.

Breakfast with Martin Bester chatted to investigative Forensic Psychologist, Professor Gérard Labuschagne. 

Professor Labuschagne said that the police would want to act sooner, rather than later. 

According to Professor Labuschagne, “When the police release information about the case, strategic reasons or informative, you have to be careful what you release. You have to be considerate to what your suspect is going to hear. If you give away too much information.”
