Wanjala was arrested by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in July this year, after a trail of the disappearance of two children in Nairobi led sleuths to his whereabouts in Kitengela.
The suspect revealed to the detectives that he was behind the killing of Charles Opindo Bala,13, and Junior Mutuku Musyoki, 12, who disappeared on June 30 and July 7, 2021 respectively.
After his arrest, Wanjala led detectives to the scene of the crime where he had disposed of the bodies of the children in Lower Kabete.
He was barely 16 when he first killed his first victim, Purity Maweu, a 12-year-old girl.
