Man arrested with ‘21 severed female organs stashed in his freezer'

South Africa: A man accused of storing the severed female organs of 21 women in a freezer has appeared in court.

Peter Frederiksen, 63, was arrested in September after cops discovered the bizarre collection at his home in South Africa.

The Danish national appeared before a judge on Wednesday ahead of his bail hearing.

Frederiksen claims the allegations are “totally unfounded” and blames his wife, who, he says, hangs around with witchdoctors".

He told Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet: "It is my wife who uses the stuff and not me."

When asked if he knew about the horrific haul, he said: "No, no, no.

"I told her many times that she had to pick up the stuff in the refrigerator."

But wife Anna Matseliso Molise, 28, claims her estranged husband drugged her and mutilated her genitalia while she was incapacitated.

 

Gun shop owner Frederiksen appeared on charges of sexual assault and violation of female genitals in a court in Bloemfontein, South Africa.

He claims that his estranged wife wanted to sell the body parts in Lesotho - the tiny nation surrounded by South Africa, where he owns another gun shop.

Cops also found pictures of female genital mutilation (FGM) at his property.

He says he took the pictures of the act in Lesotho, but he has not carried it out in South Africa.

And Frederiksen claims he had no idea what was in the freezer.

"I have never made any circumcision of any women here in South Africa," he added.

"I myself have been involved in the things over in Lesotho.

"I have been allowed to take a lot of pictures in Lesotho in the mountains, where they circumcise women."
