South African women’s rights groups and sex workers demonstrated outside a Johannesburg court on Tuesday as a 21-year-old man appeared in connection with the discovery of six decomposed bodies believed to be those of sex workers.
The man appeared in the dock with his face covered by a black cloth to hide his identity.
He was arrested last week when police discovered the bodies at a car repair workshop in downtown Johannesburg while investigating the disappearance of one sex worker who was allegedly last seen with the suspect.
According to the police, some of the bodies were found with their hands tied and they had evidently been in the building for a long period of time.
