Nairobi, 15 July, 2024 / 10:00 pm (ACI Africa).
As the retrieval of dismembered bodies tied up in sacks and dumped in an abandoned quarry used as a dumpsite in Kenya’s Embakasi South Constituency in Nairobi has continued, Archbishop Philip Anyolo Subira of the Catholic Archdiocese of Nairobi (ADN) has called for respect for human life.
In his Sunday, July 14 homily at St. Benedict's Ruaraka Parish of his Metropolitan See, Archbishop Anyolo weighed in on the “deadly discovery” of mutilated bodies wrapped in sacks that was made on July 12.
“As we condemn the many deaths that have occurred, we want to encourage families to value life right from conception,” he said, and added, “As we condemn those who take away life because nobody has permission to do that, let us also learn to encourage, support, and nurture life.”
On Monday, July 15, security agencies in Kenya said they had arrested a man, who they said had confessed to be a “serial killer” and that he had murdered 42 women in the last two years, the first murder having been his wife.
"It is crystallising that we are dealing with a serial killer, a psychopathic serial killer, who has no respect for human life; a psychopathic serial killer, who has no respect and dignity for the deceased persons," the Director of Kenya’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations, Amin Mohammed Ibrahim, has been featured saying referring to 33-year-old Collins Jumaisi Khalisia.
