A Danish man accused in South Africa of mutilating women’s genitals says he had no role in the murder of his wife.
In September, police found 21 packages containing parts of women’s clitorises, as well as surgical equipment, in a freezer owned by Peter Frederiksen, 63. Weeks later, his wife, the state’s main witness, was shot dead in Lesotho.
Prosecutor Amanda Bester told a bail hearing that Mr Frederiksen’s wife, Anna Matseliso Molise, 28, was killed because she “knew too much”.
