Police Minister Bheki Cele says two people have been brought in for questioning in connection to the murder of 5 women in Mthwalume on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast.
On Thursday, police discovered the decomposed remains of a woman, believed to be in her 20s.
This after the body of Zama Chiliza was found on Tuesday.

"On the South Coast we have witnessed some of the gruesome murder up to five young women, I think between 16 and 38 (years of age).
"We are glad to say we have two people we are questioning. We seem to be confident that at least one of them we'll get the proper answers," Cele said.
He said that forces on the ground will be enhanced.
"So that we stop this thing. 5 is already a big number, go there and try to stop that it doesn't go any further.”
