Kenyan police have offered 1 million shillings for information leading to the capture of Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, a murder suspect who fled custody in August 2024. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations announced the reward on Tuesday for Khalusha, who escaped from Gigiri police station hours before his scheduled court appearance. Authorities accuse him of killing multiple women whose remains turned up at the Kware dumpsite in Nairobi, and they warn the public that he poses a threat to communities.
Khalusha and 12 other detainees cut through wire mesh and climbed over a perimeter wall to escape from the facility on Aug. 20. The directorate asked citizens to share tips through a toll-free hotline or police emergency numbers, and officials promised confidential handling of all reports. Interior Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen told Parliament in August that investigators identified five victims through forensic tests, but the suspect's disappearance has delayed prosecution.
