Police have arrested a man who they say is the main suspect in the macabre killings and dumping of bodies at Kware dumpsite in Embakasi, Nairobi.
Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Chief Mohammed Amin on Monday said the suspect, identified as Collins Jumaisi Khalusa, had confessed murdering 42 women, including his wife, Imelda Judith Khalenya, between 2022 and July 11, 2024.
Jumaisi was arrested in a 1am raid on Monday in Kayole after being smoked out using his mobile signal that detectives were tracking.
“It is the transaction of mobile money transfer using Josephine Mulongo Owino's (one of the victims) phone number that led detectives to tracking the suspect,” said Mr Amin.
Moments before he was busted, police say the suspect was actively luring his would-be next victim, a woman identified as Susan, and detectives have invited her to record a statement.
Officers involved in the raid said the suspect stays about 500 meters from Kware dumpsite— an abandoned quarry from which at least eight bodies of women had been retried by Sunday evening.
Detectives say Jumaisi led them to the dumpsite after confessing to the killings that shocked the nation.
During the Monday media briefing, the DCI boss displayed several items that he said were seized during the raid on the suspect’s house.
They included:
- 24 sim sim cards
- 8 smartphones, 2 feature phones
- One laptop and one harddrive
- Two flash drives and one memory card
- One machete
- 12 Nylon sacks
- One pair of industrial rubber gloves
- One pink female handbag
- 2 female panties
- 5 rolls of bhang
- 4 clear sellotapes
- One nylon rope
- One reflector jacket
- 2 title deeds
- 2 notebooks
