Serial Killer caught - Gruesome! Be warned.

Sounds almost like Muti killings or .. just a regular disgruntled community member. In all fairness I'm sure this happens in smaller communities often and the communities end up sorting it out. Should have been allowed to do the same here.
 
Why oh why did the cops only shoot him in the leg?
 
this guy is a nutter. and so community members watched him stab someone else to death? they shud have sorted him out at that time!
 
If he killed all four at the same time - as is speculated in the article - he is not a serial killer.

Engcobo - Police caught an Engcobo serial killer hacking the head off one of his victims in the front yard of his mud hut home, a spokesperson said on Tuesday.

"He was in a shallow, using a pick and hammer to take off the head... It was very gruesome," said Superintendent Mzukisi Fatyela.

Police found four headless bodies at the man's home - all believed to be those of his neighbours, he said.

They were also regular customers of their 37-year-old killer, who sold liquor from his home.

"We believe that the four went to buy liquor from the man, either together or one at a time, and were then attacked... He probably beat them up before decapitating them," Fatyela said.

Charged at police

Police made the gruesome find after community members watched the man stab a 23-year-old to death with a pick axe in Xhibeni locality at 13:00 on Monday.

As the police entered the man's yard, he stopped dismembering the corpse and charged at them with the pick. Police then shot him in the leg.

"After the arrest we went inside his house and found three other headless bodies - of a 65-year-old man, 34-year-old man and a 37-year-old man.

"They were buried inside a shallow grave inside the house, and their heads were in plastic bags lying next to their bodies."

Police took the man to a nearby hospital for questioning, but had to move him when community members came looking for him.

"We moved him from the hospital to police custody because community members were very angry, and they still are."

Police had searched the premises for more buried bodies, but had not found any. The motive for the killings was not known.

A case of murder was being investigated and the man was expected to appear in Engcobo Magistrate's Court on Wednesday, said Fatyela.

Wonder if he has done anymore? If not, what drives someone to do this for the first time?
