After he was deemed sane, Makgae was returned to stand trial on charges of killing Pilore, Mokgatla, Mpatsi and his best friend, who was killed and his house burned, allegedly after finding out that Makgae was a murderer. He was also charged with the rape of Matjela, whom, at the time, was still alive but heavily injured. Makgae pleaded guilty to the murder charges, but not the rape charges, denied that he had ever done such a thing to his victims, but nonetheless, he was found guilty and sentenced to three consecutive life imprisonment terms. After reading out his verdict, Justice Vivian Tlhapi said that the defendant was a danger to society and unable to be rehabilitated. Not long after the verdict was announced, Selina Matjela passed away from natural causes, but her examining doctor determined that the attempted murder had likely sped up the process of her early demise.

After Mpatsi's husband returned home, he found that his wife was missing and reported her disappearance to the police. Three weeks later, her decomposing body was located.

By the time the body was found, it was in a state of severe decomposition, and Pilore was only identified by family members thanks to the shoes she wore and the bucket found next to her body. Because of the decomposition, cause of death couldn't be established.

A few weeks after, on
February 4, Makgae ambushed 69-year-old Juliet Mokgatla, who was going to a nearby shop. After raping the elderly woman, he used her own underwear to strangle her to death, leaving her body in the dense bushes, where it was discovered only days later. Almost ten months later, on

While the police were busy searching for the missing women, the elusive killer struck for the final time on
January 10, a week after he had killed Mpatsi. He broke into the home of 44-year-old Selina Eva Matjela, raping her twice during the night in a brutal manner. On the following morning, he
