Pretoria - The four bodies recently found in a drainpipe in Centurion were Chinese, police said on Tuesday.
Investigators have, however, refused to say whether the two children and two adults, found wrapped in plastic, were from the same family.
The first body of an adult was found in the drainpipe next to the Samrand road on November 11.
On Friday evening, the body of a child was found at the same spot.
Investigators looking for clues found two more bodies - those of another adult and a child - deeper in the pipe on Saturday.
Captain Piletji Sebola of Pretoria police refused to speculate whether they had been killed as a result of Chinese Triad activity.
"But, we can't rule out any possibilities," he said.
