Eight Officers suspended by Kenyan Police

By Editorial,

Eight police officers in Kenya have been suspended on suspicion of helping a suspected serial killer escape from custody, police have said.

In July police said Collins Jumaisi Khalusha had confessed to the murders of 42 women, including his wife, since 2022.

Mr Khalusha’s lawyer denied the claim, saying his client had been tortured to confess.

He had been held at a police station since being arrested in July, but yesterday police said that Mr Khalusha and 12 others escaped after being “aided by insiders”.

Mr Khalusha, 33, was detained following the discovery of nine mutilated bodies at an abandoned quarry in the capital, Nairobi. END.
