Every country has it’s share of dastardly weirdos who creep around at all hours, cutting people up for fun. Even South Africa.
Last year, a man was arrested after his neighbours called the police when he started to behead a corpse in his front yard. He was shot in the leg before he could inflict serious pickaxe-and-axe damage on anyone else. It turned out that this man, who ran a traditional booze establishment, had argued with a customer, who he then killed and buried in the floor of his hut. Someone came to ask if he had heard anything about the disappearance of his first victim, and he, too, was snuffed. And the third guy. By the time he had his fourth corpse he had no room left indoors, so he decided to chop up the body, because logically, smaller pieces can be fit into the bare nooks and crannies, hence his indecent exposure and arrest.

Another caperer, Annanias Mathe, who faces 76 charges (only one is attempted murder, he hasn’t killed as far as we know, but his story is funny nonetheless) ESCAPED C-MAX in Pretoria! The funny bit about this is his surname literally means ‘spit’ in Sotho, giving rise to legends that he used spit and Vaseline to escape. If you don’t believe me, ask any other South African members. I guess the sheets weren’t strong enough.
