A man accused of carrying out Swaziland’s worst known killing spree accompanied police today on a search for more of his victims.

A man accused of carrying out Swaziland’s worst known killing spree accompanied police today on a search for more of his victims.

On Monday police found the badly decomposed bodies of three women - two in a forest and one in a small town.

The discovery brought to 41 the number of bodies found so far which police believe had been dumped by the serial killer in this tiny southern African kingdom of one million people.

A first group of 29 bodies - 26 women and three babies - were found in April in a forest about 13 miles south of the capital, Mbabane.

David Simelane has been arrested and police say he has been leading them to more mutilated bodies he had buried in shallow forest graves around the country.

Police have questioned a number of businessmen they suspect may have aided Simelane in the killings.

The motive for the killings is unclear, although some of the women were reportedly raped.
