南非埃库鲁莱尼地区本周发现3具女性尸体，自7月以来该地区共发现9具被谋杀女性的遗体，其中包括38岁的迪内奥·莫塔潘和32岁的伊图梅伦 1。莫塔潘上周日失踪，尸体被发现时已遭殴打并部分烧焦 1；伊图梅伦在7月失踪后17天被发现，尸体严重瘀伤 1。目前仅有一人因这些谋杀案被逮捕，该逮捕发生在第一具尸体发现后两天（7月15日）1。南非警方表示不确定是否在追捕连环杀手 1。
这一系列发现再次凸显南非严峻的性别暴力问题。根据人权委员会数据，在4月至6月期间就有569名女性被杀害，平均每天6人，另有1,052人遭谋杀未遂 1。去年11月，南非政府将性别暴力宣布为国家灾难 1。面对持续的危机，大赦国际呼吁将杀害女性罪行单独定罪，全球已有33个国家将其列为独立罪名 1。
Authorities in Ekurhuleni, a township near Johannesburg, have uncovered nine bodies of murdered women since July, with three discovered this week alone, intensifying alarm over South Africa's severe gender violence crisis 1. Among the victims identified are Dineo Motapeng, 38, who disappeared last Sunday and was found beaten and partially burned 1, and Itumeleng, 32, who went missing in July and was discovered seventeen days later bearing severe bruising 1.
Only one person has been arrested in connection with the killings, apprehended two days after the first body was found on July 15 1. Police have not yet determined whether the cases are linked to a serial killer 1. The discoveries arrive against a stark backdrop: between April and June, a human rights commission documented 569 women murdered—averaging six per day—alongside 1,052 attempted murders 1. South Africa declared gender-based violence a national disaster in November of the previous year 1. Amnesty International has called for femicide to be established as a standalone criminal offense, a classification already adopted by 33 countries worldwide 1.
