In the past few days, the country has been gripped by the tragic development of dismembered bodies being recovered from the Kware Dumpsite in Mukuru Kwa Njenga, Nairobi County.
Following raging public anger over the revelation, the government immediately commenced investigations into the matter and on Monday, July 15, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) announced that the main suspect in the case had been arrested.
Speaking during a live press conference from the security agency's headquarters on Kiambu Road, DCI boss Mohammed revealed that detectives had arrested Collins Jomaisa who is the prime suspect in Kayole.
Detectives revealed that Jomaisa narrated to law enforcement officers why he became a serial killer.
As revealed by Amin, Jomaisa confessed that he had killed over 42 women including his wife since 2022. He further revealed that he had been disposing the bodies at the dumpsite and was in the process of luring yet another victim before his arrest.
The suspect explained that he was triggered into becoming a serial killer after starting a business for his wife who reportedly failed to sustain it leading to its collapse.
The type and nature of the business in question were not immediately revealed.
He added that he helped his wife to start yet another business which collapsed as well. This, according to the narration, was the last straw that set him off.
This turn of events angered Jumaisa who ended up killing his wife.
He is reported to have killed his wife and chopped her into pieces before dumping her into the same quarry. The detectives are however investigating his claims.
"Apparently he is a person full of vengeance and hatred and he had a special predilection for special women according to what he told us," DCI Director Amin told the press.
The victims' bodies are being held at the city mortuary as the detectives wait for the autopsy results to aid in the investigations and ensure all involved are brought to book.
As investigations continue, Amin revealed that the suspect will be arraigned in court most likely on Tuesday.
