adminMurderer runs amok kills three children in cold blood, rapes two women
Temba Dube
IN a horrific four hours, a Kezi man axed his uncle’s three children to death, raped their mother and a neighbour.
He went on to stab his aunt and left her for dead before torching six huts at his father’s homestead.
The man, identified by relatives as Ndodana Ncube (38), committed the bizarre crimes on Monday night in the adjacent villages of Msetshana and Silawa, about 28km east of Maphisa Growth Point.
A policeman who was stunned by the brutal nature of the crime called Ncube “the son of Satan” while his grandfather said he was Lucifer himself.
Two women that Ncube kidnapped reportedly said he cursed daylight, saying it was denying him a chance to kill more people as he preferred “working” under the cover of darkness.
