According to the Associated Press, Frederiksen's wife alerted authorities about the gruesome storage of body parts and police are investigating the extent of her involvement.
In a statement Warrant Officer Lynda Steyn said: "It comes down to mutilation of private parts of a woman, cut out and kept as trophies,
"He's been doing it for a long time because one the genitals were marked with a lady's name, the place Lesotho written on it, as well as the year 2010."
