DCI offers Ksh1M cash reward for whereabouts of Kware killings suspect Jumaisi
By Joel Masibo, September 30, 2025The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has issued a Ksh1 million cash reward for information on the Kware killings’ main person of interest, Collins Jumaisi.
In their statement released on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, the DCI confirmed that they are hunting for one man linked to the Kware dumpsite and the Nairobi killings reported in August 2024, who is still at large after escaping from custody last year.
”Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, the prime suspect in the monstrous killing of several women whose bodies and parts were retrieved from the Kware dumpsite in Nairobi, is still wanted by police. Jumaisi escaped from custody in August 2024, moments ahead of his arraignment for murder,” the statement read in part.

In their desperate search for the particular person of interest, the DCI has asked members of the public with key information on the person of interest and his whereabouts to move forward, further pledging a lucrative cash reward.
”The National Police Service hereby pledges a cash reward of Ksh 1 million to anyone who provides credible information that will assist in the re-arrest of the suspect. Every piece of information is valuable,” DCI said.
Murkomen on Jumaisi’s escape
The DCI’s call comes weeks after Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen confirmed that the key figure linked to the gruesome killings at the Kware dumpsite in Embakasi remains at large, along with accomplices.
Speaking in Nyeri on Thursday, August 21, 2025, during the 32nd Jukwaa la Usalama meeting, Murkomen described the escape as “regrettable” and affirmed that security agencies are pursuing every lead to establish the fugitives’ whereabouts.
“We expect that they be found, established where they are, dead or alive. It is of great concern,” Murkomen said. The Embakasi case has been among the most shocking in recent years, with dozens of women reported to have been targeted.
“It is very sad that many people do not talk to their loved ones for months and never ask themselves where they are. Part of the reason these crimes are not mapped in a timely manner is failure to report,” the Interior CS added.
