Gruesome Discovery in Nairobi
In a chilling development, Kenyan police have arrested 33-year-old Jomaisi Khalisia, described by authorities as a “serial killer,” following the discovery of mutilated bodies in a disused quarry in Nairobi. The bodies, some found in plastic bags, were identified as those of nine women, shocking the local community.
Confession and Arrest
Khalisia was apprehended early Monday morning in a local bar while watching the Euro final. During his arrest, he confessed to the brutal murders of 42 women since 2022, including his own wife. The police were led to his residence, a mere 100 meters from the Mukuru dumpsite where the bodies were found, uncovering further evidence linked to the murders.
Evidence Uncovered
At the suspect’s house, police recovered ten mobile phones, a laptop, several identity cards, and women’s clothing. A machete, believed to be used in dismembering the victims, and nine sacks similar to those used to dispose of the bodies were also found, adding to the gruesome nature of the crime.
Investigation and Public Safety Measures
Following the discovery, the dumpsite has been cordoned off as police continue their investigations into the killings. All victims were reportedly aged between 18 and 30 and killed in a similar manner. The police are currently conducting post-mortem examinations and have urged families who suspect their loved ones may be among the victims to come forward.
Broader Implications and Police Oversight
This case has raised questions about possible police involvement, given the proximity of the dumpsite to a local police station. The Independent Police Oversight Authority is investigating these allegations, and officers at the station have been transferred to ensure an unbiased investigation.
Ongoing Investigations and Community Impact
As the community grapples with these shocking events, authorities strive to fully uncover this tragedy and secure justice for the victims. The case is evolving as further details emerge, with the suspect’s court arraignment impending. This incident has ignited widespread discussions about safety and law enforcement effectiveness in Kenya.
