Standing in the dock at the Palm Ridge Magistrateโ€™s Court, Sifiso Mkhwanazi is an ordinary figure, just one of several hundred criminals who have appeared before Judge Cassim Moosa for sentencing. But his casual demeanour conceals a ruthless, violent serial killer - one of the youngest recorded in South Africa - who terrorised sex workers in downtown Johannesburg. After a series of gruesome murders sent shockwaves through the community, Mkhwanazi emerged as the shadowy figure behind the killings. As investigators dug deeper, they painted a chilling portrait of a man driven by dark impulses and a twisted sense of retribution.
