Six decomposing bodies found in Joburg building
Police in Johannesburg have arrested a 21-year-old man for murder following the discovery of six bodies in a building on Sunday.
The police were called to the building due to complaints of a foul smell coming from one of the rooms.
A preliminary investigation led the police to the suspect and the body of a woman.
Police spokesperson Brenda Muridili says five other bodies were also found.

"Unfortunately, the other five bodies are at the late stage of decomposition. They will be subjected to forensic analysis for identification.
"The suspect will be charged with six counts of murder and the provincial murder and robbery unit is investigating," adds Muridili.
