JOHANNESBURG - The South African Police Service in Johannesburg has arrested a 21-year-old man after six bodies were found in a building in the city on Sunday, 10 October.

The police were alerted about the Johannesburg building after residents complained about a foul smell coming from one of the rooms and found a woman's body.

According to SABC News, the suspect was arrested because he was the last person to be seen with the deceased. Police spokesperson Brenda Muridili explained that while some officers questioned the suspect, some returned to the building and found five more bodies outside the building in a makeshift workshop and dumpster.

"I hate that instead of him being jailed he'll be sent for mental evaluation and let go nje kanjalo"

"Tell us his nationality because I refuse to believe that a 21-year-old South African is capable of such…we aren’t living in Iraq, Pakistan, Nigeria or Iran for our 21-year-olds to be capable of such."

Tshwane serial killer Wellington Kachidza, 27, pleads guilty to 6 murders, 8 kidnappings

Briefly News previously reported that convicted serial killer Wellington Kachidza gave a shocking account of his modus operandi during a pre-sentencing hearing in the North Gauteng High Court in Tshwane on Tuesday.

Kachidza, 27, reportedly pleaded guilty to six murders, eight abductions and three sexual assaults, among a host of charges, last week. The court accepted his plea and convicted him on 34 counts in total.

The case was postponed until Wednesday this week for mitigating evidence ahead of sentencing. In a report compiled from the court by TimesLIVE, Kachidza, a Zimbabwean national, revealed the method he used to draw his victims before robbing and killing them.
