Fears over serial killer after murder of women NCEBA DLADLA
M months.
EMBERS of the community in Motherwell fear that there could be a serial killer in their midst after three women were brutally killed in the last few
The recent bludgeoning to death of single, domestic worker Khulukazi Nogaya (57) of Mpofu Street, NU1 Motherwell has called members of the community into action. Khulukazi’s body was found under the bridge near the corner of Ndlovu and Mpofu Streets last Friday evening. She suffered serious head injuries. According to her younger sister, Zukiwe Nogaya (42), who lives in NU7 also in Motherwell, Khulukazi accompanied her twin Ncincikazi, who stays in Kamvelihle, after they watched the SABC 1 Soapie “Generations” on the fatal Friday. “It was just before 9pm when I arrived and found that Khulukazi was not at home. I phoned her and her cell phone rang unanswered. Then I phoned Ncincikazi and she told me Khulukazi had accompanied her home but had not returned home,” said Zukiwe. “We were also concerned that her phone rang unanswered. This was not usual,” she said. They started to search for her and while looking in the vicinity of the bridge they heard the voice of a woman in excruciating pain. “It was Khulukazi,” said Zukiwe sobbing. The Police and an ambulance were called, but Khulukazi died en route to Dora Nginza Hospital. According to the police she had head injuries from what is believed to be a sharp object. At the time of going to print the police were still awaiting the results of a post mortem to determine the cause of death and whether Khulukazi was raped before her gruesome attack. Church leaders Reverends Mzolisi Kongwana, Freeman Bhola and Bishop Dikana together with members of the SAPS, Community Police Forum and residents held a prayer meeting at the scene where Khulukazi’s body was
found. The cleric admonished the killer in his absence and prayed that he gave himself up to the police to face justice. “This was the most gruesome attack on a woman, and this during national Woman’s Month. In addition it is the third time a woman’s dead body has been found in this area in only a few months. Do we have a serial killer
here?” asked Kamvelihle CPF Chairperson Roger Vazi. Vazi vowed that they were not going to rest until the murderer was finally brought to book. “We are here to work with you. Please come and report any information you may have to the police,” said Warrant Officer Somana, a sector Management Officer. Somana urged members of the community
and local structures to be vigilant against drug abuse and crime that is ravaging the communities. Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Dumuile Gwavu said a murder case was opened for investigations. He did not want to confirm whether the three deaths were related or whether police were suspecting that it is the work of a serial killer.
