Authorities have been under mounting pressure to solve the string of killings, which have involved several victims' bodies being discovered dumped along roadsides. Officials described the arrest of the two women and one man as a major breakthrough in the investigation. The acting national police chief said her department remained fully committed to working around the clock to bring those responsible for all nine cases to justice.
Suspects Linked to One of Nine Recent Cases
The three individuals now in custody are set to appear in court on Monday morning. Their arrest is tied specifically to the death of a woman whose partially clothed body was discovered wrapped in a sheet in the Dawn Park area last Thursday.
Several of the other recent victims were also found partially clothed and showing signs of injury, drawing comparisons between the cases. However, police have been careful to note that it has not yet been confirmed whether all nine deaths are connected, or whether they may be the work of a single perpetrator.
