Since going missing under suspicious circumstances during the anti-Finance Bill protests, Sammy Cullin Maina’s name and images have become disturbingly popular on the internet.

A close acquaintance claims that Maina vanished in the first week of June, sparking an online hunt by friends, relatives, and the public for his location.

According to Eddy Ollo, a friend of Maina, “He had gone to Ngara to visit a friend.”

The spokesperson for the traffic police, Mary Omari, stated, “The body was found in Kasarani.”

His friend Ollo continued, “But his family is left with so many unanswered questions.”

The list of objects discovered in the suspect’s possession in the Kware killings has been made public by Mohamed Amin, the Director of Criminal Investigations.

After being apprehended, he took police to his rented one-room apartment in Kware, which is roughly 100 meters from the quarry dam where the victims and body parts were found.

“His pursuit and subsequent arrest followed a very thorough forensic analysis of a mobile phone that belonged to one of the victims namely Josephine Owino where some mobile money transactions were conducted on the very day Josephine went missing,” the head of the DCI stated.

Amin claims that numerous items, including 24 SIM cards, 8 smartphones, 2 feature phones, a laptop, and a hard drive, had been found during his procession.

Detectives have found 12 nylon sacks similar to the ones used to stuff the remains, two flash drives, a memory card, and a machete—which they believe was used to dismember the victims.

Five rolls of cannabis sativa, two pink female underwear, one pink female handbag, six ID cards for men and women, four clear sellotapes, and a pair of industrial rubber gloves.

“Some of which were recovered at the scene.”

Two title deeds, two notebooks, a reflector jacket, and other papers were also found.

“On interrogation, the suspected confessed to have lured, killed and disposed 42 female bodies at the dumping site. All murdered between 2022 and as recent as July 11, 2024.”

On Monday morning, the suspect was taken into custody from his hiding place in Kayole.

The main suspect in the horrifyingly horrific killings of the people discovered in the Kware dumpsite in Mukuru kwa Njenga, in the Embakasi South Constituency, has been taken into custody.

Collins Jomaisi Khalisia, a resident of Vihiga County, has been named as the suspect. In 2022, Khalisi is said to have thrown his wife’s remains into the quarry.

The 33-year-old was discovered to be in possession of multiple SIM cards when he was apprehended at a Kayole bar. He is believed to have murdered the victims and covered their remains in plastic bags that were found at the dumpsite.

The suspect was taken to the Kiambu offices of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to await further police action.

“The suspect claimed to have killed his wife Imelda Judith Khalenya by strangulation, then dismembered and disposed of her body at the same location. According to the interrogation, every one of his victims was killed in a similar manner.”

Amin continued, saying that following a coordinated operation by officials from the DCI and the National Police Service (NPS), Khalisia was taken into custody in Kayole early on Monday morning.

“He was arrested outside a club where he had gone to watch the Euro 2024 football finals,” Amin said.

“His arrest followed thorough forensic analysis of a mobile phone belonging to one of the victims identified as Josephine Owino where some mobile money transactions were made when she went missing.”

Soon after his arrest, he took police to his single-room house in Kware Area, which is roughly 100 meters from the dumpsite.
