Case postponed

THE bail application of the man accused of mutilating several women‚ including his wife‚ and keeping removed clitorises in his freezer‚ was postponed by the Bloemfontein Magistrate’s Court yesterday.

Danish national Peter Frederiksen‚ 63‚ faces charges of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm‚ conspiracy to murder‚ bigamy and manufacturing‚ distributing and possessing child pornography.

He is also accused of killing his wife‚ Matseliso Molise‚ 28.

NPA spokesman Phaladi Shuping said the man’s case was postponed to an unspecified date to allow him to prove he will not evade his trial.

Shuping said the last time the case was in court, “the defence stated that the accused has money invested somewhere and requested the court to postpone the matter to yesterday‚ so that they can bring evidence to court that the accused can buy property in South Africa to show that he is not planning to evade his trial if granted bail”.

Yesterday‚ the defence informed the court that they have the documents but they are not signed‚ said Shuping.

“The magistrate said once the defence has sorted out the papers‚ they will contact the prosecutor and the arrangement will be made to place the matter on the court roll.”
