The Serial Crimes of Mhlengwa Zikode Episode 144

In 1995, against the backdrop of violent faction clashes, a predator is stalking Donnybrook in Kwazulu-Natal. As he uses the political violence to his benefit, multiple victims will fall prey to him before he is eventually identified.

Christopher Mhlengwa Zikode (also known as the Donnybrook Killer) terrorised the small, rural South African town of Donnybrook, KwaZulu-Natal. Over the course of two years, Zikode attacked households as well as single women traversing rural terrain.

Mhlengwa Zikode was convicted in 1995 on eight counts of murder, five counts of rape, five counts of attempted murder, and two counts of indecent assault. Zikode is, however, considered responsible for at least 18 murders and 11 attempted murders. He was sentenced to 140 years .

Zikode was convicted with the assistance of South African psychologist and criminal profiler Micki Pistorius.
