The investigating officer, in this case, is expected to testify in court.
He is accused of killing five young women and burying them in his garden and bathroom.
He was arrested after a cellphone that belonged to one of the victims was found in his possession in 2019.
Mndawe has pleaded guilty to all charges against him.
In his plea statement, Mndawe says all the victims died after he punched them following altercations with each of them on five different occasions.
The state accepted his plea statement, however, dismissed the part where he claims the murder was not premeditated.
In July 2019, some family members of Mndawe’s victims said they were left reeling from their loved ones killings.
