Kenyan Suspected Serial Killer Escapes Custody

Collins Jumaisi, a 33-year-old man suspected of murdering 42 women, escaped police custody in Nairobi alongside 12 other detainees. He was arrested last month after the discovery of mutilated bodies in a quarry, with police describing him as a 'vampire, a psychopath.' Jumaisi had confessed to the murders, including that of his wife, although his lawyer claims he was tortured into making the confession, a claim prosecutors deny. His escape has raised concerns about the effectiveness of the Kenyan police, especially since the bodies were found near a police station. Authorities, including the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, are investigating the case, looking into possible police involvement or negligence. This incident has further fueled allegations against Kenyan police regarding extrajudicial actions and unlawful killings.
