A 42-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly killing a woman and removing parts of her body in Thohoyandou, Limpopo police said on Saturday.
The man's arrest follows the murder last year of a 35-year-old woman, Superintendent Ailwei Mushavhanamadi said.
"He was arrested on Friday after a DNA test linked him to the woman's murder."
The woman was apparently killed while fetching wood at a mountain with her children.
"Her upper lip and hands were cut off."
Following the woman's death, her husband was arrested, but was acquitted last week because there was no enough evidence linking him to the killing.
Mushavhanamadi said the arrested man was also linked to a number of ritual killings in the area.
