Mmabatho- A man appeared before Kagisano-Molopo Magistrate Court for allegedly raping and killing a Mahikeng teenager, North West police said.

A man who used to mesmerize Mahikeng residents, young and old alike was frequently arrested by North West police.

Bigboy “Hammer-man” Moleko briefly appeared at Kagisano-Molopo Magistrate Court for rape and Murder. Moleko allegedly raped and killed Sassa Manye, 15, of Mahikeng Extention 39 and threw her naked body in the veld.

More than 10 cases of a man with a hammer who persecutes Mahikeng residents were reported. Police managed to arrest Moleko and his case was postponed for next week Monday where he will apply for bail.
Manye’s naked body was found in the open veld by passerby who in turn informed the police. A man-hunt was launched by police and that yields the results after months.

MEC Nono Maloyi and North West Premier Thandi Modise pleaded with the residents to work together with police to arrest the monster.
