Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A Zimbabwean man was on Tuesday slapped with eight life sentences plus 88 years in prison by a South African court after he was found guilty of the kidnapping and murder of seven women in Seshego, Lebowakgomo, and Mankweng.<\/p>\n

The convict, Themba Prince Willard Dube (36), is originally from Mpaya village, Gwanda in Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

He appeared before the Limpopo High Court: Polokwane Division on Tuesday morning where judgment was handed down.<\/p>\n

According to the Polokwane Review, via NewZimbabwe.com, Dube was also found guilty of contravening the Illegal Immigration Act 13 of 2002 as well as robbery with aggravating circumstances.<\/p>\n

Dube pleaded not guilty to all charges levelled against him except the contravention of the Illegal Immigration Act 13 of 2002.<\/p>\n

However, soon after his arrest, Dube confessed to killing several women and is said to have shown the police the locations where his victims\u2019 bodies were dumped.<\/p>\n

Some of the bodies found were in a decomposed state and had to undergo forensic testing to determine their identities.<\/p>\n

Dube was also linked to one murder case after he was found in possession of a cellphone belonging to a woman who was reported missing.<\/p>\n

He was charged with seven counts of kidnapping, seven counts of rape, and seven counts of murder, defeating the ends of justice and entering the country illegally.<\/p>\n

Dube was arrested on 29 October 2021 by the Seshego Community Against Crime and Gangsterism organisation and handed over to the Seshego police.<\/p>\n

Blood-soaked clothing, which seemingly belonged to some of the victims, was found in a rented room in Seshego.<\/p>\n
