Psycho Killer Cuts, Mutilates, Stuffs Women; 42 Including Wife

During the search of the house of Psycho Killer, the police found, among other things, machetes, industrial rubber gloves, rolls of tape, and plastic bags. The owner of the house admitted to killing 42 women, including his wife, mutilating many of his victims, stuffing the body parts into bags, and dumping them in a landfill in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, 33, has been described as a "vampire" and a "psychopathic serial killer with no respect for human life". Khalusha's horrific actions came amid political turmoil and a growing wave of gender-based violence in the country. The gruesome discovery began when the dismembered bodies of nine women were found in an abandoned quarry in Nairobi's Mukuru slum. That place, a dumping ground for residents, became the final resting place of many of the alleged victims of the Khalusha. The suspect, who lived in a nearby slum, confessed to luring, killing, and destroying his victims on the ground. Kenyan police arrested Khalusha a few days after the discovery. Prosecutors confirmed that Khalusha confessed to the murders, including that of his wife. The victims were killed between 2022 and the date of Khalusha's arrest.

Evidence seized

Detectives in Khalusha's apartment seized several cell phones, identification cards, and plastic bags matching those used to wrap the victims' bodies. This haul of evidence pointed to a calculated and methodical series of murders, earning him the nickname "Kenyan Ted Bundy."

Among the victims was 26-year-old Josephine Owino from Mukuru Kwa Njenga. Owino disappeared after a phone call one morning. His sister Peris Keya looked for him and ended up in a garbage can where she made local men look for bodies. Their efforts uncovered bags containing mutilated remains.

According to State Pathologist Dr. Johansen Oduori, most of the bags contained amputated limbs and bodies. Investigators found only one complete body among the remains. An examination of the bodies revealed no gunshot wounds, but one victim bore clear signs of strangulation. DNA analysis identified two bodies, although many remain unidentified due to advanced decomposition.

Police Scrutiny Deepens

Kenyans blast police for failing to act on reports of missing women. The fact that the landfill is located near a police station has raised questions about police oversight and competence.

The revelation of these killings shocked Kenya, a country already dealing with political unrest and economic challenges. Public outcry over tax hikes and government corruption simmers, with many Kenyans fearing authorities are using the Khalusha case to deflect attention from these pressing issues. John Maina Ndegwa, lawyer for Khalusha, throws the confession into doubt. He actively alleges police brutality, claiming they beat his client into admitting the crimes. During his first appearance in court, his lawyer demanded medical attention for Khalusha, alleging police abuse. The court granted additional time for Khalusha's arrest, giving investigators more time to develop a case. Also Read: Pakistan: Police Station Attacked In Behlolpur,18 Arrested And 134 Booked
