A suspected 33-year-old serial killer has been arrested, say the police in Kenya.
His arrest, the police said, was in connection with the discovery of mutilated women’s remains at a rubbish dump in Nairobi.
According to the police on Monday, the suspect was arrested Sunday evening while watching the Euro 2024 final between England and Spain in a pub.
The police disclosed that the man confessed to murdering 42 women, dismembered them and put their remains in plastic bags before throwing them into a former quarry in a Nairobi neighbourhood.
“We are dealing with a psychopath, a serial killer with no respect for human life,” said Mohamed Amin, the head of the criminal investigation department.
The investigation began last Friday after body parts were found at the dump, said the police.
By Sunday, the police had found the remains of nine women aged between 18 and 30. The suspected serial killer claimed that his first victim was his wife, police told journalists.
The 33-year-old reportedly confessed to strangling his wife and dismembering her. He then went on a killing spree, hunting down other women.
The police explained that the suspect was tracked down via the mobile phone of his last victim.
He reportedly lived just 100 metres away from the dump.
In addition to a machete and plastic bags, the personal belongings of his alleged victims were also found in his house.
At the time of his arrest, the suspect was reportedly already looking for his next victim.
