JOHANNESBURG - While the country celebrates Women's Day, some residents in Pretoria only know anxiety as a suspected serial killer has been terrorising their communities.
Five women have been killed within 3 months and the only suspect, Heldor Isidro, is linked to just one of them.
Isidro was out on bail when the fifth woman, Loveness Magabe, was killed.
Magabe was reported missing in July and her body was discovered in a shallow grave in Heldor Isidro's backyard, a 36-year-old man believed to have used social media to lure his victims.
Faith Mawelewele, Magabe's friend, says she still remembers the chilling message Magabe sent her that fateful day.
She says, Magabe said she felt uneasy when she was dropped at Isidros' house and not a lodge they agreed to meet at.
