Kenyan Police arrest 'serial killer', who confessed to killing 42 women in past two years, while he was watching Euro 2024 final

Authorities were quoted as saying by CNN that Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, 33, “lured, killed, and disposed of 42 female bodies,” of which only nine have been recovered.

He was arrested outside a club in Soweto region of the capital Nairobi where he went to watch the Euro Cup final.

“On interrogation, the suspect confessed to having lured, killed, and disposed of 42 female bodies at the dumping site, all murdered between 2022 and Thursday, 11 July, 2024,” Kenya’s director of criminal investigations, Mohamed Amin, told journalists as quoted by CNN.

Amin told Citizen Digital that Khalusha intimated that his first victim was his wife whom he strangled to death, and dismembered before dumping her remains in the dumpsite.

According to reports, nine bodies have been recorded so far.

The first six bodies were reportedly discovered by locals from Nairobi’s Mukuru kwa Njenga neighbourhood.

Kenyan Police told CNN the bodies were found in an “abandoned quarry,” currently “filled with water and used as a dumpsite.”

The arrested person reportedly stayed close to the dumpsite.
