Английская Википедия:David Thabo Simelane
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Multiple issues Шаблон:Infobox serial killer David Thabo Simelane (born 1956) is a Swazi serial killer sentenced to death for the murder of 28 women,[1] but is suspected of murdering 45.
Murders
Simelane left school, although his uncle tried to enable him to attend secondary school.
He testified in court that he had been sentenced to six years' imprisonment for robbing and raping a woman. Then, after his release in 1998, he set out to seek revenge by starting a murder series. The killings lasted from the late 1990s until 2001, when the police arrested him on public grounds.
Simelane made women go with him in the forest. He then tied his victims there and sexually assaulted them, stabbing or strangling them with his bare hands if they resisted too much. He also beheaded many of them, before or after death. Simelane often stole his victims' money and valuables to participate in gambling. Among his victims were several pregnant women.
Investigation
Shepherds in search of a runaway cow discovered body parts in the Usuthu-Pulp Forest in Malkerns and notified the authorities, who soon asked six South African forensics experts for administrative assistance.
Simelane was arrested on April 25, 2001[1] on a street near the graves and led the police to more graves, from which 45 bodies were found. Even the bodies of four babies were among the dead. Because of the highly advanced decay, Simelane was charged with 34 murders.
Conviction
During the trial he was found guilty of murder in 28 cases and sentenced to death by hanging. He showed no remorse for his actions during his trial.[1]
After an appeal to the Swazi Supreme Court in November 2011, it was decided that the trial took an inadmissibly long time, but the death sentence that awaited Simelane has been confirmed.
