Maoupa Cedric Maake(also known as the Wemmer Pan Killer) is believed to be the second worst serial killer in the history of South Africa. He is described as a black (African) male.
SERIAL KILLER
He committed at least 27 murders throughout 1996 and 1997. Maake was arrested in December 1997 and on 6 September 2000 he was convicted of 27 murders, 26 attempted murders, 14 rapes, 41 aggravated robberies and many more less serious offences. He was sentenced to more than 1159 years in prison.
WEMMER PAN KILLER
Maake is known as the "Wemmer Pan Killer" because it was this area of Johannesburg that he targeted most of his victims. He also targeted Indian shop owners. It was at first believed that there were two serial killers (one targeting Wemmer Pan and one targeting Indian tailors), but the South African Police Service linked the "two killers" after Maake signed a lay-buy slip at one of the shops he targeted. This signature linked Maake to both areas.
Cedric Maake was also featured on a 13-part M-Net television series called "Criminal Minds" hosted by Malcolm Gooding.
