An African witchdoctor from the country of Lesotho was found boiling body parts belonging to a murdered white South African farmer when he was arrested, a court in South Africa has heard.
Moeketsi Hopolong Mokoena (34), a witchdoctor (a profession also called a “traditional healer”) was busy cooking the body parts of Jan van Wyk (82) of the farm Jakkalsfontein, when a private security company swooped on the murder scene.
The Free State Supreme Court heard that Mokoena was busy cooking the body parts in a pot in Van Wyk’s house.
According to the charge sheet read before the court, Mokoena started off by asking for food at a farmhouse owned by Basie and Mary Venter, about 5 kilometers (3 miles) away from the Van Wyk farmhouse.
While Mary Venter was kindly preparing some food for the black man, she heard the farm dogs start barking. Running outside, she saw Mokoena beating her 65-year-old husband to death with an iron bar.
