DCI identify Collins Jomaisi Khalisia as a serial killer linked to macabre killings of women in Kware.
Collins Jomaisi Khalisia has been identified as the prime suspect in a string of murders that led to female bodies being discovered in Kware dumpsite, Mukuru Kwa Njenga slums.
In an update on Monday, Mohamed Amin, Director of Criminal Investigations revealed that police pounced on Khalisia in Soweto on Monday morning.
Khalisia was arrested outside a club where he had gone to watch the Euro 2024 Finals between Spain and England.
“His pursuit and consequent arrest followed a thorough forensic analysis of a mobile phone that belonged to one of the victims namely Josephine Mulongo Owino, where some mobile money transactions were conducted on the day Josephine went missing.
Amin further explained that the suspect led police to his house in Kware, located about 100 metres from the dumpsite where bodies have been recovered.
In a confession to police officers, Khalisia said he has dumped 42 female bodies in the Kware dumpsite.
His first victim was his wife Imelda Judith Khalenya, whom he killed in 2022.

“Upon interrogation, the suspect confessed to have lured, killed and disposed 42 female bodies at the dumpsite all murdered between 2022 and as recent as July 11, 2024,” noted Amin.
We conducted a quick search in the house, which led to the recovery of 24 Airtel SIM cards holders with new SIM cards, eight smartphones, one laptop, one hard drive, two flash drives, one memory card and one machete believed to be used in dismembering the victims,” Amin added.
DCI sleuths further recovered 12 nylon bags similar to those used to stuff the bodies found at Kware Dam, a pair of industrial rubber gloves, six male and two female national identity cards, a female handbag, two female panties, five rolls of bhang, four transparent cellotapes, a reflective jacket, two title deeds, two notebooks and assorted documents.
The DCI boss noted that the dumping site and the suspect’s house will remain active crime scenes as investigations continue.
He urged families who believe their relatives may have recently fallen victim to the macabre killings to report to the nearest police station.
