Authorities have identified the second of two women found strangled and burned in South Side garbage containers last week.

Hazel Lewis, 52, was identified by dental records Friday afternoon, according to Chicago Police.
Reached Friday, Lewis' family said relatives had received the news and were gathering together. Lewis, her family said, was the mother of three children.
"She was a great mother," said her daughter, who declined to give her name.

The daughter said the family had no information as to what could have happened to her mother.
"We didn't know anything until the detectives contacted us," she said.

Lewis' body was found Nov. 14 in the 800 block of East 50th Street.
The gruesome discovery came two days after the body of another African-American woman was found on the South Side. The body of Theresa Bunn, 21, who was eight months pregnant, had been found in the 6100 block of South Prairie.

Both murders remain under investigation, with detectives trying to determine if they are related.
