STORYLINE:
A suspect who police said confessed to killing 42 women and was being detained over the discovery of dismembered bodies in Kenya’s capital has escaped from police custody, officials said Tuesday.
Gilbert Masengeli, acting inspector general of police, said Collins Jumaisi Khalusha escaped along with 12 other inmates of Eritrean nationality who had been arrested for being in the country illegally.
Masengeli also told journalists at a news conference that disciplinary measures had been taken against eight officers, including the area and station commanders and officers who were on duty.
“Our preliminary investigations indicated that the escape was aided by insiders considering that officers were deployed accordingly to guard the station,” he said.
A police report said the inmates escaped early Tuesday morning after they cut through wire mesh in the cell and scaled the perimeter wall.
The escape was discovered as breakfast was being taken into the cell.
Khalusha, 33, was being detained at the police station after a court allowed detectives seven more days to investigate his alleged crimes before charging him.
Khalusha was arrested in July after 10 bodies and several body parts were found wrapped in plastic sacks in the Kware area of Nairobi.
Police said Khalusha confessed to killing 42 women, including his wife.
