Police in South Africa are investigating a possible ninth victim in a series of serial murders of gay men in Gauteng province.
Dr Carl Mischke, 47, a professor at the University of Johannesburg, was found face down on his bed in a pool of blood on Monday morning, after having allegedly invited in his killer or killers.
His naked body was covered by a duvet, hiding the multiple stab wounds that led to his death.
The Norwood resident's death bears the hallmarks of eight other murders of gay men across Gauteng, and police have confirmed that his death will be investigated alongside the other eight victims.
Dr Mischke had been lecturing at the University of Johannesburg since the beginning of this year, teaching post-graduates on the intricacies of Labour Law.
