A 21-year-old man has been arrested for murder after Gauteng police found six decomposed bodies at a Johannesburg building on Sunday. "The police were called to the building due to a foul smell coming out of one of the rooms. That is when a body of a woman was found," police spokesperson, Brigadier Brenda Muridili said.

A preliminary investigation led officers to the 21-year-old man who was last seen with the woman on 2 October."Upon questioning the suspect, the police went back to the building and five more bodies were discovered outside the building, where there is a makeshift workshop and rubbish dumpsters," Muridili added.A forensic analysis will be carried out to identify them.
