Maoupa Cedric Maake (1965-?)

Maoupa Cedric Maake, also known as the Wemmer Pan Killer, is a South African serial killer who committed at least 27 murders throughout 1996 and 1997. He got his moniker because it was in the Wemmer Pan area of Johannesburg that he selected his victims, starting in April 1996. At the start of the murders, the Brixton Murder and Robbery Unit of the South African Police Service did not link his crimes together because they thought it was the work of 2 separate serial killers due to the differences in the murders. During the investigation of Maake’s murders, 2 separate profiles were established: 1 for the “Wemmer Pan” murderer and 1 for the “Hammer” killer. The Wemmer Pan murders involved several victim types – the 1st were men and women who were walking on their own, who Maake would bludgeon to death with rocks; the 2nd were couples in cars in the Wemmer Pan area whom Maake would assault by shooting the men and raping the women. The 2nd criminal profile police created involved the murders of tailors in the inner city area – they had been killed with hammers in their shops. The connection between the Wemmer Pan murders and the Hammer killings were made on January 12, 1998, by Superintendent Piet Byleveld. Maake took Byleveld to a pawn shop in La Rochelle in south Johannesburg, where he had sold the bicycle of Wemmer Pan victim Gerhard Lavoo. The alias Maake had used on the receipt was “Patrick Mokwena”, an alias known to have been used by the Hammer murderer to check in a shirt at one of the tailors’ stores before he was murdered.

Cedric Maake was arrested in December 1997 as a suspect in the Wemmer Pan murders and initially confessed his guilt, cooperating with police officers more than once by leading them around the area pointing out locations of his crimes. The data generated by these excursions was later used with crime mapping technology to provide diagrams of the geographic area of the murders. The Wemmer Pan serial killer trial was one of the first to use Geographic Information Systems to aid in court prosecution by the South African Police Service. These geographical profiles revealed that Maake’s murders were centred on his 2 homes, his job, and the homes of his brother and girlfriend. Maake was charged with 36 counts of murder, 28 attempted murders, 15 counts of rape, 46 counts of aggravated robbery and offences relating to the unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition. In court, Maake pleaded not guilty to all counts. 1 month after his arrest he confessed to the Hammer murders. On September 6, 2000, he was convicted of 27 murders, 26 attempted murders, 14 rapes, 41 aggravated robberies and many more lesser offences. In total, he was found guilty of 114 of 134 charges and was sentenced to 27 life sentences (1 for each murder) plus 1159 years in prison.
