In August 1995, Sithole was seen with one of his victims, but he shortly disappeared after SAPS investigators got details of his previous rape conviction.<\/p>\n

In October 1995, he got in contact with a South African journalist named Tamsen de Beer and identified himself as the wanted murderer.<\/sup>\u00a0During a phone conversation with de Beer, he stated that he carried out the killings in revenge for his unjust imprisonment.<\/p>\n

Sithole gave directions to where one of the bodies had been left in order to prove his identity.<\/sup>\u00a0Local authorities subsequently cornered Sithole in\u00a0Johannesburg, shooting the suspect when he attacked a constable with a\u00a0hatchet. He was driven to the hospital, where he was found to be HIV positive.<\/p>\n

Sentence & Imprisonment<\/h2>\n

On the 5th of December 1997, Sithole was sentenced to fifty years\u2019 imprisonment for each of the thirty-eight murders, twelve years\u2019 imprisonment for each of the forty rapes, and five years\u2019 imprisonment for each of six robberies.<\/p>\n

The total effective sentence is one of 2,410 years. Sithole is currently incarcerated in Mangaung Correctional Centre in Bloemfontein.<\/p>\n
