The body of a woman has been discovered in an open veld along Lama Street in Dawn Park, east of Johannesburg.

The discovery, believed to be the ninth case involving the body of a woman found in the area, has sparked renewed concern among residents.

The woman was found dead and unclothed in the veld on Thursday morning.

Police were called to the scene and have begun investigating the circumstances surrounding her death.
