Is a serial killer behind Kenya’s dismembered bodies?
Al Jazeera
While police claim a suspect confessed to killing 42 women, a watchdog investigates possible police links to the bodies.
A Kenyan man suspected of being a “serial killer” appeared in a Nairobi court this week after police charged him with multiple murders following the discovery of the dismembered remains of nine people.
Police arrested Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, 33, early on Monday and arraigned him the next day, linking him to the bodies that were found floating in an abandoned quarry in a Nairobi slum on Friday.
Khalusha, officials said, confessed to murdering 42 women, with the first victim allegedly being his wife.
“We are dealing with a serial killer, a psychopathic serial killer who has no respect for human life, who has no respect and dignity,” Kenyan police investigations director Mohamed Amin told reporters on Monday.
However, the suspect’s lawyer, John Maina Ndegwa, said in court on Tuesday that Khalusha was “tortured” into making the statement. Prosecutors denied these allegations.
