Danish national in custody for body parts

Tuesday, September 22, 2015

Pretoria – A Danish national, who was arrested last week after women genitals were found stashed in his freezer, was remanded in custody when he appeared before the Bloemfontein Magistrate Court, on Monday.

“Twenty one suspected female genitals, scheduled anaesthetic medicine and surgical doctor’s operating equipment were found in Peter Fredekrisen house in Langenhoven Park, Bloemfontein,” Hawks spokesperson Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi said.

Police say the 58-year-old allegedly sedated his victims before performing illegal operations on them.

“Most of the victims were allegedly from Lesotho and investigations are underway to establish how he lured them into the country as well as his motive,” Mulaudzi said.

Mulaudzi said Frederiksen, who also owns two gun shops in Bloemfontein, is a wanted man in Denmark for illegally dealing in firearms.

The suspect will appear again in court on 28 September 2015, when he will make a formal bid for bail.

He is facing charges of sexual assault, intimidation, domestic violence and contravention of the Medicines Act. - SAnews.gov.za
