Durban, KwaZulu-Natal – In a disturbing series of events, Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) has received distress calls from four women residing in Phoenix, Verulam, and Newlands, who have fallen victim to a serial masturbator who stalks them through video calls. The unidentified suspect, an Indian male, employs a staggering fifteen different phone numbers on separate networks to carry out his heinous acts.
The perpetrator repeatedly contacts his victims through WhatsApp Video Call, with his face obscured and the camera focused solely on his exposed genitalia. Upon being blocked, he swiftly switches to a different number and resumes his offensive behavior, often calling the victims at odd hours of the day and night. The relentless nature of these incidents has left the targeted women terrified and fearful for their safety.
In an especially chilling development, one woman, who resides in a block of flats, was forced to flee her home last night (Monday) after the stalker provided a disturbing description of her residence during one of their calls. The woman, fearing for her life, has not returned to her residence since the incident. All four victims have provided consistent descriptions of the perpetrator as an Indian male.
During a conversation with one of the victims, the man identified himself as Neal and claimed to reside in Phoenix, a suburb located in KwaZulu-Natal. This information, coupled with the repeated use of specific phone numbers, has given authorities some leads to follow in their pursuit of the suspect.
The frequently used phone numbers associated with the suspect are as follows:
068 4136 ***
061 1766 ***
062 6590 ***
063 4830 ***
Local law enforcement agencies have been alerted and are actively investigating the matter. Authorities are urging anyone with relevant information about the suspect or any other potential victims to come forward and assist with the ongoing investigation.
