Kenyan man accused of finding dismembered female remains escapes police custody

Following the discovery of dismembered bodies in Kenya’s capital, authorities captured a suspect who they claimed confessed to killing 42 women. On Tuesday, officials announced that the man had fled from police custody.

According to Collins Jumaisi Khalusha and twelve other Eritrean nationals who had been detained for illegal immigration, the escape occurred, according to Gilbert Masengeli, acting inspector general of police.

A press conference was held when Masengeli informed the media that eight officers, including the area, station commanders, and the on-duty police, had been placed under disciplinary action.

“Given that officers were stationed appropriately to guard the station, our preliminary investigations suggested that insiders assisted in the escape,” he stated.

The prisoners broke through the cell’s wire mesh and climbed the outer wall, according to a police report, allowing them to escape early on
Tuesday. While bringing food into the cell, the escape was discovered.

Before being charged, a judge gave detectives seven more days to investigate Khalusha’s alleged offenses. Thus, the 33-year-old was being held at the police station.

Ten corpses and other body parts were discovered packed in plastic sacks in Nairobi’s Kware neighborhood in July, leading to Khalusha’s arrest.

Khalusha allegedly admitted to the police that he had killed 42 women, including his spouse.

“There would be severe accusations brought against this valuable suspect. We will respond by our investigation into the matter, Amin stated.

On Tuesday afternoon, senior police officers visited the police station where the suspects had fled, which was secured with crime scene tape.

Monday is when the two additional suspects are scheduled to appear in court. They were taken into custody when it was discovered that they had telephones belonging to several of the slain ladies.

When the relatives of one missing woman claimed to have had a dream in which she instructed them to investigate a quarry, police reported in July that the bodies had been found.

The corpses were shrouded in sacks when the relatives called a local diver for assistance.

Thanks to DNA testing, six bodies have been recognized, but other body parts are still unknown.
