Serial killerArrested After Bodies Found In Kenya’s Dump

Kenyan police have arrested a man who they have described as a “serial killer” suspected to have been behind the gruesome murder of nine women whose mutilated bodies were found in a disused quarry used as a rubbish dump.

Police say Jomaisi Khalisia, 33, confessed to having killed 42 women since 2022, including his own wife.
The suspect was arrested at a bar early on Monday morning as he was watching the Euro final.
There has been shock and outrage in Kenya since the first of the dismembered bodies were found on Friday in the capital, Nairobi.

“[He] confessed to have lured, killed and disposed of 42 female bodies at the dumping site, all murdered between 2022 and as recent as Thursday,” said Mohamed Amin, head of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).

He said says they had found crucial evidence in the suspect’s house, including 10 phones, a laptop, machete, identity cards and personal female clothing.
