Peter Frederiksen, 63, a Danish national living in South Africa, allegedly sliced off chunks of his 28-year-old wife's private anatomy while she was drugged.

Prosecutors believe he also targeted 20 other women, whose body parts were allegedly found at his home.

Wife Anna Matseliso Molise, who is 35 years his junior, planned to testify against her husband but was gunned down and killed last month.
