Back in the day, when Mxit was in its prime, curious things went on in the chatrooms it housed. Now, five years later, the investigation of a slain Pretoria girl has begun – and the question is, who is ‘Satan Eyes’?

Using ‘sms’ speak, messages sent by a schoolmate about a killing ritual were read out during the inquest into the death of a 17-year-old Pretoria girl, Anika Smit. The message read something like this:

Wl u gve me a ritual. I want 2 c a persne dead. do u have a ritual 2 kil.

Anika was in Grade 11 at Hoërskool Gerrit Maritz and was found by her father when he returned home from work. She was raped, stabbed numerous times, mutilated and both her hands were cut off. They are yet to be found.

The message was sent from the then 18 year old boy whose Mxit chat name was ‘Vampire’. Reclusive, it is said he has snakes and collected swords – all the signs he was in a cult, obviously.

Vampire was arrested after he received messages from an unknown – ‘Satan Eyes’ – who responded with a lengthy message which instructed ‘Vampire’ to get a doll, which he should bury in a shoebox at a cemetery.

The investigation of this Mxit saga is ongoing as police attempt to find out who exactly ‘Satan Eyes’ is. The process will call on 96 people to testify in the hopes of solving the occult puzzle.
