A man who has reportedly been found with 21 pieces of female genitalia in his freezer has appeared in court to apply for bail.
Peter Frederiksen, who is living in the city of Bloemfontein, South Africa, was arrested back in September after a grim discovery of severed vaginas in the block freezer of his home.
Surgical equipment, including anaesthetic drugs, were also reported to have been found on the property.
Freferiksen’s wife, Anna Matseliso Molise, told police he had drugged her and cut off private parts of her genitalia while she was unconscious.

Molise was planning to testify, but was gunned down and killed while leaving her house last month.
According to media reports, it is still unknown whether the victims of the severed body parts are alive – or if they survived the attacks.
Police spokeswoman Masilea Langa told media that Frederiksen had kept a detailed record of every body part removed since his alleged first victim in 2010.
Frederiksen now faces charges of sexual assault, intimidation and breaking South Africa’s medical laws.
