By the fall, four women had been found strangled in Cleveland, a fifth in Pretoria, and a sixth in Boksburg. After raping and strangling Monama with his own hands, Sithole wrote three messages on her skin: "She a beach ", "I am no fighting with you please ", and "We must stay here for as long as you don't understand." It is believed that these messages were directed to law enforcement, and that for each time he killed, Sithole imagined that he was taking his revenge on Swakamisa for reporting him. His bait, like in all the following murders, was a desk job in a foundation named "Youth Against Human Abuse", which didn't actually exist. In July 1994, while Martha was five months pregnant with Sithole's daughter, Sithole lured eighteen-year-old Maria Monama to Cleveland. Eventually, Sithole was released in 1993 for good behavior, and he moved to Pretoria with Martha and her parents. While still incarcerated, he met a woman named Martha (surname unrevealed) who was visiting a relative in prison, and they began writing letters to each other. Sithole was sentenced to six years in prison. During the trip, Sithole kept cursing at Swakamisa and saying that he should have killed her.
In "a very unprofessional move", officers forced Sithole and Swakamisa to share the backseat of a police car as they drove them over to the station. Months after, Swakamisa saw Sithole standing outside her new workplace and called the police. In February 1989, he raped Buyiswa Swakamisa and threatened her with a panga, a South African machete. The following year, in the midst of his crimes, Sithole began a relationship with a seventeen-year-old girl in Boksburg, Sibongile Nkosi, whom he mistreated. Starting in 1987, Sithole began raping women. He was also considered charming and a ladies' man. He liked to help street children and returned many runaways to their parents. Afterward, Sithole had a number of menial jobs in farms and gold mines surrounding Johannesburg. After an unspecified time, Patrick moved to Venda and Sithole sold their house without permission. Claiming mistreatment, Sithole ran away after three years and went to live with his older brother Patrick. They were interned in an orphanage of Benoni and later transferred to KwaZulu-Natal. Beforehand, she instructed them to never tell the officers she was their mother. Later in his childhood, his mother abandoned him and his four siblings in a police station. Sithole was born in Vosloorus, a black residential area just south of Boksburg, in 1964.
