A Danish man who now resides in South Africa has been arrested after police claim to have found 21 pieces of female genitalia stuffed inside his freezer.
His arrest follows after his wife, from Lesotho, reported to police he drugged her and cut off her genitalia whilst incapacitated.
Named by Danish newspaper BT as 63-year-old Peter Frederiksen, it was revealed he had openly discussed practicing female genital mutilation with a journalist in the past.
Hangwani Mulaudzi, a South African police spokesman, told the paper: ‘We have found 21 genitals from 21 women.
‘The man’s wife is one of the women. We are now investigating who the other 20 are.’
Whilst police confiscated the body parts, they also found and confiscated surgical equipment, anesthetic and a large collection of photographs.
In interviews with journalist Jorn Starry, Frederkisen had once admitted to performing genital mutilation and claimed to have been taught by controversial doctor Jorn Ege, BT reported.
Frederkisen claimed: ‘I met him [Ege] at Skodsborg Strandvej for a dinner.
‘And I say, “I might have a customer for you. I know a girl in Copenhagen and she’d love to have made a cosmetic intervention, but she would want me to make it”.’
It was then he was shown how to carry out the procedure by Dr Ege, who later became known as ‘Dr Penis’ due to his enlargement surgery work.
