Wanjala was expected in court on Wednesday, October 13, 2021, to answer for multiple murder charges pressed against him.

Wanjala was arrested by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in July this year after a trail of the disappearance of two children in Nairobi led sleuths to his whereabouts in Kitengela.

The suspect revealed to the detectives that he was behind the killing of Charles Opindo Bala,13, and Junior Mutuku Musyoki, 12, who disappeared on June 30 and July 7, 2021, respectively.
