SIFISO Mkhwanazi who's accused of killing six sex workers will appear in the Joburg High Court sitting in Palm Ridge, Ekurhuleni on Monday, 19 February.
Mkhwanazi's lawyer Vuyo Maqetuka is expected to cross-examine the witness, Detective Sergeant Bongani Mbonambi.
On 14 February, Mbonambi testified that they found used condoms, underwear, garden spades blood stains, and human fluids at the site of a panel beating workshop in Rosettenville, south of Joburg, in October 2022.
He said the latter forms part of the evidence found in the room.
The alleged sex workers' killer, Mkhwanazi, allegedly used an empty room as a slaughter room.
"DNA samples obtained from the 'slaughter room' were positively linked to the three sex workers who were allegedly killed by Sifiso.
"There was blood showing that the bodies were dragged from the room downstairs, and one could see that someone tried cleaning the blood from the stairs. Police experts managed to retrieve the blood," said Mbonambi.
He said the caretaker, Michael Damian, who was among the witnesses, testified last week that a cleaner used to clean the room but stopped when she realised that the room was not used.
"The cleaner told me she saw Sifiso cleaning the room," said Mbonambi.
Mbonambi said three or four victims might have been killed in the slaughter room and dragged up the stairs.
The accused might have used the three dustbins that went missing from his dad, Mark Khumalo's workshop.

"Some of the bodies were found in the dustbins on 9 October 2022 after the first body of Joyce Moyo was found in the slaughter room," he said.
Mbonambi said if this was one murder, he would have given him the benefit of the doubt but looking at the photos taken by forensic officers, it showed that the deceased was killed in the workshop.
"The bodies were tied on their hands from the front and the back.
"The bodies were strangled, and no money was found in the bags of the deceased," said Mbonambi.
He accused Mkhwanazi of killing the sex workers and wanting to hide the bodies.
"Sifiso spent nine to 10 months in prison after a case of rape against him was opened. He should have stayed away from the sex workers, but his actions were like going to the fish pond and picking the sex worker he wanted," said Mbonambi.
The 21-year-old is facing six counts of murder, seven counts of rape, six counts of obstructing the administration of justice, robbery with aggravating circumstances, and unauthorised possession of firearms and ammunition.
The charges stem from the discovery of six female bodies at the site of a panel beating workshop in October 2022.
Mkhwanazi allegedly confessed to the murders during a conversation with his father, who is the second key witness.
