Kenyan police announced today that they have arrested the suspect in the dismembered bodies of 9 women at the Mukuru garbage dump in the capital Nairobi.
Serial killer Jomaisi Khalisia confessed during police interrogation that he first strangled and then dismembered 42 women, including his own wife.
Police said they analyzed the mobile phone app transactions of one of the victims, Josphine Mulongo Owino, and found that she had made a transfer on the day she disappeared, and that the clue led them to Jomaisi Khalisia.
INVESTIGATION CONTINUES AT THE DUMP
Police searched Khalisia's apartment, which was 100 meters from where the bodies of the victims were found, and initially found phones, a woman's purse and other items, including underwear belonging to the women.
Kenyan police first found body parts in plastic bags on July 12, and announced the following day that they had found more bags containing body parts.
Kenyan police emphasized that the dump continues to be actively searched as a crime scene.
