Man Nabbed for 'Killing, Cooking' Woman

Sept. 3, 2003

The man accused of mutilating a woman and then cooking her body parts was arrested on Tuesday night, KwaZulu-Natal police reported on Wednesday.

Inspector Jay Naicker said the 30-year-old man was suspected of murdering at least two women in Esikhawini, near Eshowe on the province's north coast.

This followed the discovery of a woman's remains next to a pot filled with body parts on Tuesday. Her husband had reported the woman's disappearance on Saturday.

Naicker said a woman told the husband she had seen his wife's handkerchief and scarf in a bush.

When the husband went to investigate he found his wife's mutilated body next to a pot containing body parts believed to be hers.

Naicker said that this was the second woman's body that was butchered in the area over the last two weeks.

The man is expected to appear in court soon.
