Githunguri Member of Parliament Gathoni Wamuchomba has demanded answers from the government and security agencies over the unresolved killings of 42 women whose mutilated bodies were dumped at the Kware dumpsite in Embakasi, Nairobi, in 2024.
In a strongly worded statement shared on X, Wamuchomba accused authorities of turning a blind eye to one of Kenya’s most horrifying murder cases, saying justice for the victims has been delayed for too long.
“It’s about time! Justice delayed is justice denied,” she declared. “As an elected woman leader and a women’s rights champion, I demand to know who killed and dumped over 42 mutilated bodies of women in Kware. My parliamentary question on this matter was ignored by the gatekeepers of the executive. Who killed our women?”
The legislator’s outcry follows renewed efforts by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to locate the prime suspect, Collins Jumaisi, who remains at large after escaping from custody in August 2024. The 33-year-old had been arrested in connection with the killings but managed to flee from Gigiri Police Station alongside 12 other detainees, including undocumented migrants from Eritrea.
In a statement released on September 30, 2025, the DCI confirmed that Jumaisi is still wanted for the murder of several women whose dismembered bodies were found at Kware dumpsite.
“The National Police Service pledges a cash reward of Ksh1 million to anyone who provides credible information that will lead to his re-arrest. Every piece of information is valuable,” read part of the statement.
Jumaisi was initially apprehended on July 15, 2024, after reportedly admitting to killing and dismembering several victims before dumping their remains. His escape sparked public fury, with many Kenyans accusing the police of gross negligence.
Wamuchomba now says the government must take responsibility and ensure that justice is served not only for the 42 victims but also for their grieving families who continue to suffer in silence.
“Women in Kenya deserve protection, not silence. The Kware killings cannot be forgotten,” she said, urging Parliament to revisit the matter and compel accountability from the security agencies.
As the DCI renews its manhunt, questions linger over how a suspect linked to such a heinous crime could evade justice, more than a year after the killings shocked the nation.
