Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) claim to have uncovered additional evidence at the home of Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, the man accused of murdering 42 women and dismembering their bodies.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the DCI revealed that after revisiting Khalusha’s residence in Mukuru kwa Njenga, investigators discovered several blood-stained items, including a knife, hammer, and scissors.
These items may potentially connect the suspect to the gruesome killings.
“A team of homicide detectives, in collaboration with their CSI counterparts, revisited the house of Collins Jumaisi Khalusha in Mukuru Kwa Njenga,” said the DCI. “Among the items recovered were a pillowcase with noticeable bloodstains, a blood-stained t-shirt, a blood-stained hammer, a blood-stained pair of pliers, three knives, one with bloodstains, and a blood-stained pair of scissors.
Investigations are still ongoing and the suspect’s house and the dumping site remain active crime scenes.”
The DCI also revealed that two other suspects arrested in connection with the killings have been detained for 28 days to allow police to conclude their investigations.
Amos Momanyi, who was apprehended on Tuesday, was found in possession of a mobile phone and two Safaricom SIM cards belonging to one of the victims, Roselyn Akoth Ogongo. Momanyi reportedly led detectives to Moses Ogembo, whom he claimed sold him the cellular device.
The DCI told the court that they needed more time to detain Momanyi, as his “rental house within Pipeline Estate is still an active crime scene which is believed to hold more evidence, and which has not been forensically documented for security reasons.”
The police also stated that the scene of the crime is still an active investigation site, and sufficient time is required to ensure all evidence is properly recovered and examined.
