Inside DCI’s Long Hunt for Vampire Serial Killer Collins Jumaisi Khalusha
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has intensified the search for Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, the prime suspect in the murders of at least 42 women.
Khalusha escaped from Nairobi’s Gigiri Police Station on August 20, 2024, where he was being held following his arrest.
Collins Jumaisi Khalusha: A Dangerous Fugitive
Khalusha is the main suspect in the Kware quarry murders, where the bodies of 42 women were discovered.
He managed to escape from custody just as authorities were preparing to charge him with multiple counts of murder.
The DCI is now offering a substantial cash reward for any information that leads to his capture.
DCI Appeals for Public Help
DCI Director Mohamed Amin has urged the public to assist in the re-arrest of Khalusha. Anyone with credible information on his whereabouts is encouraged to report it anonymously via the #FichuaKwaDCI hotline at 0800722203. Additionally, tips can be submitted through police hotlines 999, 911, or 112, or at any police station across Kenya.
Khalusha’s Allegations and Court Proceedings
During a recent court appearance, Khalusha claimed that he was tortured by detectives into confessing to the murders.
His lawyer, John Ndegwa, argued that Khalusha was treated inhumanely during his arrest and now requires urgent medical care.
Despite these claims, Makadara magistrate Irene Gicobi granted the DCI an additional 30 days to detain Khalusha while the investigation continues.
Evidence and Breakthrough in the Case
Police reports indicate that Khalusha had confessed to the serial killings. The DCI tracked him to a house in Kayole, where he was allegedly attempting to lure another victim.
A raid on his residence led to the discovery of critical evidence, including ten mobile phones, seven identity cards, ten sim cards, a panga, gloves, ropes, and sacks similar to those found at the crime scene.
An officer involved in the investigation stated, “We believe we have a key suspect in the Kware quarry murders.”
The DCI also traced money withdrawn from the latest victims, marking a significant breakthrough in the case.
Concerns Over Extrajudicial Killings
This case has raised concerns about extrajudicial killings, putting additional pressure on the government to ensure that Khalusha is brought to justice swiftly and fairly.
