The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said the suspect, identified as Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, was arrested on Monday morning in ongoing relentless efforts to deliver justice to the victims.<\/p>\n

Khalusha was arrested at 3 am outside a club in Nairobi\u2019s Soweto neighbourhood, where he had gone to watch the Euro 2024 football finals between England and Spain.<\/p>\n

DCI boss Mohamed Amin told journalists in Nairobi that detectives narrowed down on the suspect after conducting forensic analysis of a mobile money account belonging to one of the victims, Josphine Mulongo Owino. Mobile money transactions conducted on the day she went missing pointed to the suspect.<\/p>\n

Upon his arrest, the suspect led officers to his single-room rented house in Kware, located about 100m from the crime scene where bodies and other dismembered body parts were recovered. <\/p>\n

A search of the house led to the recovery of crucial exhibits, including a machete and six Kenyan national identity cards for men, along with two belonging to women.<\/p>\n

Other items recovered from the suspect\u2019s house included 24 new SIM cards, eight smartphones, a laptop, nylon sacks, a pair of rubber gloves, a nylon rope, a pair of panties, and a female handbag, among other items.<\/p>\n

Upon interrogation, the suspect gave the sleuths a chilling confession how he lured, killed, and disposed of 42 female bodies, including that of his wife, at the Kware dumping site between 2022 and July 11, 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspect alleges that his first victim was his wife namely Imelda Judith Khalenya whom he strangled to death before dismembering her body and disposing it at the site,\u201d Amin said.<\/p>\n

Khalusha told detectives that he killed his wife because she twice squandered the money he had given her to start a business.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe told us that after marrying his first wife in 2022, he started for her a business twice but she squandered the business on both occasions. Out of bitterness he chopped her into pieces and dumped her at the quarry. Further investigations are ongoing\u201d Amid remarked.
\nThe suspect is also believed to have sexually assaulted his victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cApparently he is a person full of vengeance and hatred and he had a special attraction for beautiful women, according to what he told us\u2026 We are dealing with a serial killer who has no respect or dignity for human life. He confessed to us that he had carnal knowledge with some of the victims,\u201d Amin said. <\/p>\n

Earlier, the police said that all the nine bodies recovered from the dumping site had similar injuries, indicating that the victims were killed in a similar manner. The bodies were wrapped in sacks.<\/p>\n

Families with missing relatives have been urged to report to the authorities as investigations into the murders continue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are likely to arrest more suspects because we believe he did not act alone,\u201d Amin stated.<\/p>\n
