The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has dismissed widespread online reports suggesting that Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, the main suspect in the Kware murders, has been re-arrested. The agency clarified that Jumaisi remains at large following his escape from police custody in August 2024.
In an official statement, the DCI emphasized that claims of Jumaisi’s capture were false, reaffirming that the fugitive is still being sought. Jumaisi, who escaped dramatically from Gigiri Police Station, is the prime suspect behind a series of brutal killings that rocked the Kware area of Embakasi. His disappearance triggered nationwide concern and public anger over the handling of dangerous detainees by law enforcement.
Authorities have maintained an active manhunt and renewed their appeal to the public for information leading to Jumaisi’s arrest. The DCI has restated that a cash reward of Ksh1 million remains in place for any credible tip that results in his capture. Members of the public are urged to report any information through official communication channels.
The Kware murders remain one of the most disturbing crime cases in recent years, with investigators linking Jumaisi and his alleged accomplices to multiple killings that left the community in fear. The victims, mostly women, were discovered near the Kware dumpsite in Embakasi, raising questions about safety and security within urban settlements.
Government officials have described Jumaisi’s escape as deeply concerning. Authorities have vowed to bring him and his accomplices to justice, assuring the public that every possible lead is being followed. Investigations into the circumstances surrounding his breakout from Gigiri Police Station are ongoing, as scrutiny intensifies over how a high-profile murder suspect managed to evade police custody.
The Kware case has also sparked a national conversation about personal safety and the need for communities to remain vigilant. Security experts have urged the public to report missing persons promptly to prevent similar tragedies. As the search for Collins Jumaisi continues, both law enforcement and the public remain hopeful that justice will eventually prevail.
