Twelve women have been killed in one part of South Africa since July. Here's what we know so far

Boitumelo Gift Mashita was shot and killed on Monday in Tembisa Ekurhuleni. The 23-year-old woman was on her way to work when she was gunned down and her belongings were taken.

Police say her estranged husband, who they suspected of being responsible for her murder, was later found dead inside his vehicle in Midrand.

Police have not found any link between this case and the discovery of the other bodies.

While most of the bodies were found in the same area, police confirmed the discovery of another body about 39 miles (63 km) away from Ekurhuleni on 20 September.

The body of a young woman, believed to be in her 20s, was found wrapped in a duvet in a dam in Soweto, south-west of Johannesburg.

It's unclear if her murder is linked to those in Ekurhuleni.

President Cyril Ramaphosa said the killing of these women and others was a "stain on our national conscience".

South Africa has one of the highest homicide rates, with 5,427 people murdered between April and June this year alone.

South African police statistics do not differentiate victims by gender but the South African Human Rights Commission said last week that 569 women were killed between April and June this year. This works out as an average of six women killed each day.

Police have set up a task team to investigate these murders and have offered a reward of 400,000 rand ($24,000; £18,000) for information that could lead to arrests.
