Nairobi: Kenyan police said Monday they had arrested a "serial killer" suspect who had confessed to murdering 42 women before dumping their dismembered bodies in a Nairobi rubbish tip.
Since Friday, a total of nine mutilated and dismembered bodies trussed in plastic bags have been pulled from the garbage site in the Mukuru slum area in the south of the capital, a gruesome discovery that has horrified the nation.
Acting Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja said the 33-year-old prime suspect, named as Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, was arrested near a bar at around 3:00 (0000 GMT) on Monday.
"We are dealing with a serial killer, a psychopathic serial killer who has no respect for human life," the head of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations Mohamed Amin said.
He told reporters the arrest came after a joint operation by the DCI and the National Police Service.
