Summary
Elizabeth Moselakgomo's relatives identified her body on Monday after it was found Saturday night in Kempton Park, ending a nationwide search for the runner who vanished during a routine run last week.
Police said the 29-year-old mother of one was badly bruised and partially clothed, and warned women in the area not to walk or run alone, especially in isolated places.
Kempton Park has now seen 5 women found half-naked and bruised, including another body discovered Monday about 25 km away; police said they are not yet linking the deaths to a serial killer.
One arrest has been made over the first body, and a police task team is investigating as Moselakgomo's death fuels outrage in a country where women are killed at 5 times the global average.
