After more than two years of searching for him, the Kenyan police succeeded in arresting the murderer of women who killed 42 women and mutilated their bodies, after 9 mutilated bodies were found among piles of waste in the capital, Nairobi. He was described as a “vampire.”
The killer, Collins Jamisi Khalusha (33 years old), who was said to be mentally ill, confessed to luring 42 women, killing them, and disposing of their bodies in a garbage dump in the Mukuru neighborhood, south of the Kenyan capital. The ages of 8 of the victims ranged between 18 and 30 years.
Khalusha was arrested in front of a site where he went to watch the European Football Cup final, while trying to attract another victim. Meanwhile, the police arrested him. He added: “We are dealing with a serial killer who is a mentally disturbed serial killer who does not respect human life.” The suspect was found after analyzing the phone data of one of the victims.
The murders occurred between 2022 and July 11, 2024, according to statements by the head of the Criminal Investigation Directorate, and during a search of the killer’s home, the authorities in Nairobi found a machete that was used to cut up the bodies of the victims, according to the head of the Investigation Directorate in Nairobi, and he continued: “It is unfortunate and very sad that the accused confirmed that his victim The first was his wife (..) whom he strangled before cutting up her body and throwing it in a landfill.
The Kenyan police pledged to conduct a "transparent" investigation into the case, and the independent police oversight body in Kenya announced on Saturday the opening of an investigation on suspicion of police involvement.
