Serial Killers in Namibia by W. R. Botes

Although there has been no recorded proof or cases of serial killers found in Namibia, serious crimes took place in this peaceful country. One unsolved mystery has boggled the minds of many. The killings of 4 women and the distribution of their body parts along the B1 road to Rehoboth/Okahandja from Windhoek. The title ‘B1 Butcher’ was given to the suspected serial killer who murdered and dismembered the women. However, the B1 Butcher was never found. Ever since the victims body parts were discovered in rubbish bins, no incriminating evidence or DNA samples could lead to anything conclusive to the arresting of a suspect. Being a rare case in Namibia, the inexperience of the Namibian police in such cases and lack of forensic experts, the South African Police Service had to help track down the killer.
