A suspected serial killer has been arrested in Kenya following the discovery of several bodies at a quarry in Nairobi, with police saying Monday he had confessed to killing 42 women including his wife
. Police said Collins Jumaisi, a 33-year-old man living near the quarry in Mukuru neighborhood in the south of the capital, was arrested early on Monday. The acting head of police, Douglas Kanja Kirocho, said nine bodies had been recovered so far from the quarry. “It is crystallizing that we are dealing with a serial killer, a psychopathic serial killer who has no respect for human life,” said Amin Mohamed, the head of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations.
Huge crowds gathered to watch the remains, many of which were dismembered, being retrieved from the quarry over the weekend, with some engaging in running battles with police. Many local residents have been angered by rumors that the bodies were linked to alleged abductions of young protesters by security forces during recent street demonstrations. The police have so far given no indication that the remains found are anything to do with the protests.
