Moses Sithole, born on November 17, 1964, is a notorious figure in the annals of South African crime history. He is infamously known for the ABC Murders, a series of brutal crimes that terrorized the nation between July 1994 and November 1995. The ABC Murders get their name from the pattern in which they occurred: beginning in Atteridgeville, moving on to Boksburg, and finally concluding in Cleveland, a suburb of Johannesburg.

Sithole's criminal activities primarily targeted women, with his victims numbering at least 37, alongside a tragic case involving a toddler. His modus operandi was both methodical and heinous, marked by a pattern of deception and extreme violence. He lured his victims with the promise of employment, a cruel tactic that exploited the vulnerability of those desperately seeking work.

The reign of terror brought about by Sithole's actions culminated in his arrest on November 6, 1995. The investigation and subsequent arrest were a significant endeavor for South African law enforcement, which had been grappling with the enormity and brutality of his crimes. His trial was a focal point of national attention, revealing the disturbing details of his crimes.

In 1997, Moses Sithole was convicted and sentenced to an unprecedented 2,410 years in prison. His sentence reflects the severity and extent of his crimes, emphasizing the judicial system's determination to seek justice for the victims and their families. He is currently serving his sentence at the Mangaung Correctional Centre in Bloemfontein, a high-security facility.
