A man accused of murdering multiple women and disposing of their bodies in an abandoned quarry escaped from police custody in Nairobi on Tuesday, according to police reports.
Collins Jumaisi, who was arrested last month, is suspected of being connected to the discovery of at least six bodies, which were found wrapped in plastic bags in Kware quarry, a site now used as a garbage dump.
Jumaisi managed to escape from the Gigiri police station along with 12 Eritrean nationals, as confirmed by police spokesperson Resila Onyango.
Authorities state that Jumaisi confessed to killing 42 women, including his wife. However, his lawyer claims that the confession was coerced through torture, an allegation that prosecutors firmly deny.
