The man had anaesthetic medicine & surgical equipment as well as female body parts in his home.

JOHANNESBURG - A Danish man has appeared in the Bloemfontein Magistrates Court on charges of sexual assault and contravening the Medicines Act, after 21 parts of female genitalia were found in his freezer.

Fifty-eight-year-old Pieter Fredekrisen was arrested last week after police searched his house in Langenhoven Park.

Police have confiscated anaesthetic medicine and surgical equipment as well as the body parts which were bagged in a freezer.

Hawks spokesperson Hangwani Mulaudzi says the suspect allegedly sedated his victims before performing the illegal surgeries.

"We did find that these are female human specimens, that we managed to pick up. We are now working with our forensics to ascertain how many women were affected by this man."

He says Fredekrisen has a history of crime and is apparently wanted for dealing in illegal firearms in Denmark.

"It's still an ongoing investigation. We have reason to believe the information which still has to be confirmed in writing."

Police are calling for his victims to come forward ahead of his bail application next week.
