Collins Jumaisi

Kenyan serial killer 'Vampire', who confessed to killing 42 women, including his wife, has escaped from police custody, authorities have reported.

Kenyan police launched a major manhunt on Tuesday after a man they claim has confessed to murdering and dismembering 42 women escaped from a Nairobi police cell, along with a dozen other detainees.

Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, 33, has been described as a "psychopathic serial killer who has no respect for human life." Khalusha's horrific acts have come to light amidst political turmoil and a rising wave of gender-based violence in the country.

Acting Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja said the 33-year-old suspect, named as Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, was arrested at around 3:00 am (0000 GMT) near a Nairobi bar where he had been watching the Euro 2024 football final.
