News summary

Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, a suspect accused of murdering 42 women, has escaped from police custody in Nairobi, raising serious concerns about police security. Khalusha, who was being detained while investigators sought additional time to charge him, escaped alongside 12 other inmates by cutting through wire mesh and scaling a perimeter wall. Mohamed Amin, head of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, described the escape as 'unfortunate' and indicated that an internal investigation is underway, with disciplinary measures already taken against eight officers involved. Khalusha was previously arrested after authorities discovered multiple dismembered bodies in plastic bags in Nairobi. His lawyer claims that Khalusha was tortured into confessing and maintains his innocence. The incident has prompted questions regarding the safety measures for high-risk detainees in Kenya.
