#MasoyiMurders: Suspect’s case postponed to Friday
The suspect is facing charges of rape and murder.
The 25-year-old man who allegedly confessed to raping and killing five women and burying them in his yard appeared at the Masoyi Periodical Court today.
This comes after police discovered two bodies while investigating a case of a missing woman believed to have been the Julius Mndawe’s (suspect) girlfriend who went missing sometime in May. On Sunday pointed out all the areas where he killed, raped and concealed the bodies of the victims.
