MBABANE - Their sin was telling him that they knew him after he had robbed and raped them.

This is the story of the women who were raped and some subsequently killed by alleged Elangeni serial killer Vusi Phineas Dlamini.
In his confession, Dlamini mentioned that he killed most of the women because he feared that they would identify him after he had raped and robbed them.
He further disclosed he would kill the women by throttling and drowning some of them to make sure they were dead.

The accused is facing eight charges of murder and six of rape.
He is alleged to have committed the offences in Ezulwini around 2008 and 2009, when women went missing from their places of residence, only to be discovered dead and sexually abused.
In his confession, which he now claims he recorded under duress, the accused narrated an incident where he cut the hand of one of the women and put it in his bag.

“One day I boarded a mini-bus to Mvutshini and when I alighted, I came across a young woman next to Somnjalose High School and I accosted her. I scared her with a bush knife I was carrying, grabbed her and went to the forest and when we were next to a river I throttled her until she died,” reads part of Dlamini’s confession.
He said he then took out the bush knife and cut her hand off, which he put in his bag.

According to Dlamini, he remained in the forest until it was dark and at about 6pm, he then walked out of the forest to board a mini-bus to Lobamba.The accused said when he reached Lobamba, he boarded a kombi to Manzini where he  called the police on their emergency number 999 and asked to be connected to the Lobamba police.
“I alighted at Nkhokhokhweni station and I went to a certain homestead, which had been built on a piece of land that was allocated to me. I sat next to the homestead until it was completely dark,” narrated the alleged serial killer.
Dlamini disclosed that in the middle of the night, he then made a way through a fence to the homestead.

“I went to the toilet, placed the hand on the toilet roof and went out to close the fence I had damaged to gain entry. I then went home and burnt the bag which contained the hand,” claimed the accused.
