Man ‘Nabbed with 21 severed vaginas’ in his freezer appears in court

A man who was allegedly found with 21 pieces of female genitalia in his freezer has appeared in court. Peter Frederiksen, 63, a Danish man residing in South Africa arrives in the court before his bail application. Frederiksen was arrested in September after 21 mutilated vaginas were allegedly found in his home. Surgical equipment and anaesthetic drugs were also said to have been found in the property. It is believed his wife, 28-year-old Anna Matseliso Molise, told police he drugged her and take off private part of her body while she was incapacitated.

She was set to testify but was gunned down and killed while leaving her house last month. Police believe the majority of the victims are from the Lesotho area. Frederiksen, said to possess a rifle shop, allegedly sedates victims before performing the illegal operations, a police statement said. It’s not yet determined if the severed vaginas were removed when the women were alive – or indeed if they’d have survived the attacks. Masilea Langa, a police spokeswoman, stated that Frederiksen had kept a definite and organised record of each body part he had removed since his first victim in 2010.

The gun shop owner was arrested after the human body parts were found in plastic freezer bags, confirmed by police spokesman Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi. Mr Mulaudzi said one of many victims alerted authorities and police have since appealed to any women who could have been assaulted by the man to comfore ward. He faces charges of sexual assault, intimidation and breaking South Africa’s medical laws. A police investigation was launched enlisting the aid of a forensics team.
