The family of suspected serial killer Mduduzi “Mafutha” Khomo, who allegedly hanged himself while in police custody, are struggling to bury him. His body has been lying in the mortuary for a month.

Durban -

Khomo, 41, was one of two accused arrested for the murders of five women in the Mtwalume area on the South Coast of KZN between April and August this year. Aphile Khomo, a close relative, said the family left the area three weeks ago after death threats from the community members who protested against the burial of her troubled cousin. She also suffered verbal abuse after she gave shelter to her grandmother for two days. Khomo said the angry mob stormed her home demanding that she expel her aunt if she wanted peace.

“I have never seen an angel before, but to me, he was a quiet, innocent person. Even if he had bad intentions, you could not tell”, she said.
