Officers at Estcourt police station were shocked to their core when a man handed himself over to police on Friday evening, claiming he was “tired of eating human flesh”.
Police were skeptical until he produced parts of a human leg and a hand.
Investigating officers immediately began an investigation, leading to the arrest of a further two men.
A total of three men were arrested. It is believed that at least one of the men is a practicing nyanga (traditional healer).
It is believed that the three would rape, kill and eat their female victims.
Police are attempting to link them to other missing person cases in the area.
It is not clear how far and wide they searched for their victims, and Ladysmith (70km from Estcourt) victims have not been ruled out. See original story HERE
