WEMMER PAN SERIAL KILLER GUILTY

ACCUSED Wemmer Pan serial killer Cedric Maupa Maake was found guilty of five counts of murder, five counts of rape, four of armed robbery, two of attempted murder and two of illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition in the Johannesburg High Court on Tuesday. Judge Geraldine Borchers is still to deliver judgment on a further 113 charges, which include murder, rape, attempted murder, housebreaking, and illegal possession of firearm and ammunition. The rest of the judgments are expected to be delivered on Wednesday. She said Maake had “made an extremely poor impression”, and the court did not hesitate to reject his evidence. Maake had pleaded innocent to all 133 charges.
