Police are appealing to the public not to circulate or share photographs of people allegedly linked to the murders of women in Ekurhuleni.
According to police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe, SAPS has not released any identikit, wanted poster or photograph of a suspect or suspects in connection with these cases.
The appeal comes after photographs of individuals allegedly linked to the murders went viral on social media.
“Members of the public are cautioned against sharing unverified information, as this could result in innocent people being wrongly identified, harassed or targeted.
“SAPS will communicate officially should any suspect be positively identified and should the public’s assistance be required.
“SAPS assures the public that it is seized with these cases and is following every lead that may assist investigators in establishing the circumstances surrounding the murders and identifying those responsible,” said police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe.
She urged communities to rely only on information issued through official SAPS communication channels and to report any information that may assist the investigation to the police.
