This is the best summary I could come up with:
A suspected serial killer has confessed to murdering 42 women over the past two years, police in Kenya have said, in a shocking case that has sparked calls for increased measures to combat gender-based violence in the country.
“On interrogation, the suspect confessed to having lured, killed, and disposed of 42 female bodies at the dumping site, all murdered between 2022 and Thursday, 11 July, 2024,” Amin said.
Acting police inspector general, Douglas Kanja, added in a statement that the “post-mortem examination is happening today” on the nine bodies recovered so far.
In a news conference on Sunday before the suspect’s arrest, Kanja said the bodies “were severely dismembered, in different states of decomposition, and left in sacks.”
A machete, 12 nylon sacks, a pair of industrial rubber gloves, a hard drive, and eight smart phones were among “crucial” items police said they discovered in the rented house.
They called for the re-establishment of gender desks at police stations countrywide with well-trained officers to address cases of gender-based violence.
