In a shocking turn of events, an accused Kenyan serial killer, Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, known as "a vampire" and suspected in the murders of 42 women, has managed to escape from custody. Along with Khalusha, twelve other detainees, including suspects from Eritrea, made a daring escape from Nairobi's Gigiri police station, with the assistance of eight officers, including the station commanders.

According to the head of Kenya's Directorate of Criminal Investigations, Mohamed Amin, the escape was facilitated by insiders, as the inmates were able to cut through a wire mesh in their cells and scale a perimeter wall without raising suspicion. The authorities only discovered the escape when officers went to serve breakfast to the detainees.

This incident has raised serious concerns among the top brass, as Khalusha was considered a high-value suspect, bound to face severe charges. Amin described Khalusha as a "vampire" and a "psychopath," highlighting the threat he poses to society. The police were in the midst of investigating the 42 homicides linked to him when the breakout occurred.

Khalusha's arrest took place in July after the gruesome discovery of ten mutilated bodies in a quarry located in Nairobi's Kware neighborhood. It was alleged that Khalusha not only admitted to killing these ten women but also claimed responsibility for 32 other homicides spanning a two-year period. Shockingly, the first victim was reported to be his own missing wife.

When initially apprehended, Amin labeled Khalusha as a "psychopathic serial killer" who showed no regard for human life. However, his lawyer, John Maina Ndegwa, insisted on his client's innocence and claimed that Khalusha's confession was the result of police torture. Ndegwa expressed his confusion over the prison break and highlighted his last conversation with Khalusha, which took place on Friday when the court ordered him to remain in custody for another week.

In response to this shocking incident, acting Police Inspector General Gilbert Masengeli has announced that the eight officers implicated in aiding Khalusha's escape will face disciplinary measures. An investigation into the matter is underway, and appropriate actions will be taken accordingly.

The escape of an accused serial killer raises serious concerns about the security protocols within the Kenyan law enforcement system. As authorities intensify their efforts to apprehend Khalusha and the other escaped detainees, the public remains on high alert, seeking justice for the victims and hoping for a swift resolution to this disturbing case.
