Gathoni Wamuchomba demands answers in Kware killings
By Joel Masibo, October 27, 2025Githunguri Member of Parliament Gathoni Wamuchomba has asked security agencies and relevant authorities to provide answers in the killing of 42 women and their mutilated body parts dumped in Kware dumpsite, in Embakasi, Nairobi, in August 2024.
Taking to X on Monday, October 27, 2025, the legislator reacted to the snubbed letters by the United Nations to the Kenyan government, raising concerns on police killings, detention and prosecution of government critics, enforced disappearances and abductions following the 2024 anti-government protests.
”It’s about time! Justice delayed is denied. As an elected woman leader in Kenya and a women’s rights champion, i demand to know who killed and dumped over 42 mutilated bodies of women in the Kware dumpsite in Embakasi, Nairobi, in July 2024. My parliamentary question regarding the same was not satisfactorily ANSWERED, but instead I was jettisoned by the gatekeepers of the executive and oppressors. Who killed our women?” Wamuchomba posed.
Desperate hunt for Jumaisi
Wamuchomba’s demands come after the 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 killings, 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.
Information provision
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.
Jumaisi was apprehended after he was linked to the killing of 42 women and dumping their remains in the Kware dumpsite, Nairobi. The 33-year-old was apprehended on July 15, 2024, after admitting to having dismembered his victims, and later he escaped from police custody. However, Jumaisi and 12 undocumented Eritrean migrants broke out of Gigiri police cells in Nairobi shortly thereafter.
