A 22-year-old serial rapist and murderer Sifiso Nasseb Mkhwanazi has been handed six life imprisonment sentences for multiple rapes and murders.
Earlier this year IOL reported that the State had proved that Mkhwanazi raped and killed six sex workers that he had picked up in the Johannesburg CBD, between April and October 2022, which he pleaded not guilty to.
Mkhwanazi was found guilty of several charges, including multiple counts of rape, premeditated murder, possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition and defeating the ends of justice.
Gauteng police spokesperson, Colonel Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi said this follows the discovery of six decomposed bodies at a factory in Selby, Johannesburg, on October 15, 2022.
A meticulous investigation conducted by Captain Vincent Saunders and Sergeant Prince Mbonambi from Provincial Serious Violence Crime Unit led to the arrest of Mkhwanazi and eventually his conviction for the gruesome crimes, said Nevhuhulwi.
