Kware Murders Suspect Escapes, Triggers Manhunt

Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, a Kenyan man who reportedly confessed to killing 42 women, has escaped from police custody in Nairobi along with 12 Eritrean nationals. The escape, which occurred by cutting through a wire mesh roof and scaling a perimeter wall, has led to a major manhunt and the suspension of eight police officers. Khalusha was initially arrested in July following the discovery of mutilated bodies in a Nairobi slum. His lawyer claims he was tortured into confessing. This incident has raised significant concerns about police effectiveness and internal corruption, especially given the high-profile nature of the case.
