Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, accused of killing at least 42 women and dismembering their bodies before dumping them at a quarry in Kware, Embakasi South, has alleged police brutality following his arrest on Monday.
Khalusha, through his lawyer John Maina Ndegwa, claimed he was tortured into confessing to the murders and pleaded with the court to grant him access to medical care.
“My client, as he sits there, is in dire need of urgent medical attention… for reasons that during the period under detention, he was subjected to molestation and torture. The confession that the public is being treated to, claiming he murdered 42 persons, is laughable,” Ndegwa argued before the Makadara Law Courts.
Ndegwa continued, “My client has been subjected to horrendous inhuman mistreatment so that he can confess to issues which are alien to him. I pray that the court directs for urgent medical attention even as they do their investigations.”
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), however, dismissed the abuse allegations, noting that only one police officer was assigned to the suspect to record his statement.
