Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, accused of the heinous crimes of killing 42 women and disposing of their bodies in Kware, has made serious allegations of police brutality and torture. Khalusha’s lawyer, John Maina Ndegwa, has called for urgent medical attention for his client, asserting that Khalusha’s confession was coerced under duress and that the accusations against him are baseless and “laughable.”

During a tense courtroom session, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) strongly denied the allegations of torture, insisting that their investigation has been conducted within the bounds of the law. The DCI also sought additional time to continue their probe, particularly to locate witnesses and contact the families of the victims.

Despite Ndegwa’s objections, arguing that the DCI’s evidence lacked substance and was purely speculative, the court sided with the DCI, granting them an additional 30 days to detain Khalusha for further investigation.

Ndegwa’s appeal for Khalusha’s immediate medical attention highlights a growing concern about the treatment of suspects in police custody. He argued that his client’s health was deteriorating due to the alleged torture, demanding a thorough medical examination to verify Khalusha’s claims.

The case has garnered significant public attention, with many questioning the integrity of the investigation and the handling of suspects by law enforcement. Khalusha’s allegations of torture have added a complex layer to an already contentious case, prompting calls for an independent inquiry into his treatment while in custody.

As the investigation continues, the families of the victims and the general public await further developments, hoping for justice and clarity in a case that has deeply shocked the community.
