Hours after the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) unmasked the prime suspect behind the murders in Kware Dumpsite, the mother of the first-ever victim came forward to narrate the puzzle of her daughter's disappearance.
On Monday, DCI boss Mohamed Amin told the press that Collins Jomaisi Khalusha was arrested for the murders and admitted to killing 42 women.
The authorities further revealed that the suspected serial killer revealed that his wife, Imelda Judith Kamenya, was his first-ever victim in 2022.
Kamenya's mother, while appearing at the DCI headquarters yesterday evening, recalled that she was in constant communication with her daughter over the years.
However, in 2022, she went silent, was untraceable, and never returned messages sent to her via the online chat service, WhatsApp.
"She had gone quiet but sometimes she came online chatting with other people," the mother recalled.
"In 2022, however, her account went silent and never responded to text messages. Since then, I never heard from her again. I have just heard today that she was murdered."
Jomaisi, who lives 500 meters away from the Kware Dumpsite where nine bodies have been found, told the detectives that he carried out the macabre killings out of bitterness of failed businesses.
DCI boss further revealed that all the follow-up victims were murdered in a similar style.
"Unfortunately, the suspect alleged that the first victim was his wife namely Imelda Judith who he strangled to death before dismembering her body and dumping it at the same site.
"From our interrogation, all his victims had been murdered in the same style," stated Amin.
During interrogation, Amin noted that Jomaisi revealed that his wife was his first victim shortly after their marriage in 2022.
He explained that he strangled her to death out of bitterness accusing her of squandering the two businesses he founded for her.
The suspect was arrested early Monday morning outside a club in Kayole where he had gone to watch a soccer match. The operation occurred at around 3:00 am.
