Forgive my ignorance, but what the hell is a "ritual murder"? Why does it carry a specail name that makes you think of bad stuff like Satanic rites and witchdoctors and the like? It's murder for goodness sake. It is a gruesome murder where the victim has been partially dismembered by another human being, who probably doesn't have the right to be called a 'human being'!Don't blame it on Satan and witchdoctors or voices in my head that told me to do it or whatever else we seem to come up with. It's murder, plain and simple! If he has killed before then he is a multiple murderer, or serial murderer or mass murderer! The bottom line is though that we need to get him off the streets as soon as possible before he does it again!Man held for ritual murder

A 42-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly killing a woman and removing parts of her body in Thohoyandou, Limpopo police said on Saturday. The man's arrest follows the murder last year of a 35-year-old woman, Superintendent Ailwei Mushavhanamadi said. "He was arrested on Friday after a DNA test linked him to the woman's murder."
The woman was apparently killed while fetching wood at a mountain with her children. "Her upper lip and hands were cut off." Following the woman's death, her husband was arrested, but was acquitted last week because there was no enough evidence linking him to the killing. Mushavhanamadi said the arrested man was also linked to a number of ritual killings in the area.
He is expected to appear in the Mutale magistrate's court outside Thohoyandou on Monday. - Sapa
