Police believe that the suspect may have been behind 40 murders in recent years.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has announced plans to reward Kenyans for information that will lead to the arrest of suspected serial killer Collins Jumaisi.

In a notice released on Monday, October 28, the investigative body indicated that a significant cash reward would be given to those who provide information on the suspected whereabouts.

DCI maintained that Jumaisi was a wanted individual given that he escaped from police custody during investigations of the Kware dumpsite murders.



"The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is seeking the public's help in providing information that could assist in the re-arrest of Collins Jumaisi Khalusha. He was scheduled to be charged with murder but escaped from police custody on Monday, 20/8/2024," read the notice in part.

"A significant cash reward will be provided to anyone with credible information leading to the suspect's arrest. The suspect is from Shiru Sub-location, Shaviringa Location, Hamisi Sub-county in Vihiga County."

Therefore, Kenyans with information on the whereabouts of the suspected serial killer were urged to make a report at any police station in the country.

Additionally, information can also be submitted to the police anonymously through their hotlines.

Information on the suspect's whereabouts can be reported confidentially to the anonymous #FichuaKwaDCI hotline at 0800722203 or the police hotlines 999, 911, and 112, or to any police station in the Republic," DCI added.

Jumaisi was last seen at the Gigiri Police Station where he escaped from police custody in August.

In earlier reports by the police, the suspected serial killer confessed to having killed over 40 women over the years.
