Cedric Maake

Maoupa Cedric Maake, known as the Wemmer Pan Killer, is a South African serial killer who was convicted of 27 murders but was suspected of killing many more.

Maoupa Cedric Maake was born in 1965 in South Africa. His father died when he was in Standard 8 (now Grade 10), and he decided to leave school at that time to help care for his family. He moved to Johannesburg to look for work and became a plumber, working for himself.

Maake had a wife and four children in Limpopo and a girlfriend in Johannesburg. At 33 years old he was living in La Rochelle, Johannesburg when seemingly without a trigger he began a life of crime.[citation needed]

Maake committed at least 27 murders throughout 1996 and 1997.

Maake is known as the "Wemmer Pan Killer" because it was in the Wemmer Pan area of Johannesburg that he targeted most of his victims, beginning in April 1996. At first the Brixton Murder and Robbery Unit of the South African Police Service (SAPS), the unit primarily responsible for the investigation of serial killers in the Johannesburg Police Area, did not link his crimes together, believing that they were the work of two separate serial killers due to the difference in patterns between the murders. During the investigation of Maake's murders, two separate criminal profiles were created; one for the "Wemmer Pan" murderer and one for "Hammer" murders.

On 28 December 1996, Antonio Alfonso was working in Hill Gardens Café in High Street, Rosettenville. Maake entered the café and without warning attacked Alfonso with a hammer. He stole R400 from the cash register and fled. Alfonso survived the attack. Maake used the proceeds of this robbery to celebrate the new year.

On 6 January 1997 around 10:00 am, Maake entered and robbed a shop owned by Magan Khanjee. He struck Khanjee with a shifting spanner until he was unconscious, then stole five pairs of trousers from the shop.

Two days later, Maake bludgeoned Kenny Chan with a hammer and stole money from the till. His crimes only got worse. He struck Khantilal Lutchman with a hammer and stole his wallet in a tailor shop. The same incident happened to an Abdul Bulbulia in Newtown. His first murder victim was Dhansuklal Patel who died in hospital after Maake bludgeoned him with a hammer and stole his wallet.
