Self confessed child serial killer Masten Milimu Wanjala is dead.

According to reports, the serial killer behind the murder of 13 children was murdered in Mukhweya village, Bungoma County.

News of his murder was confirmed by Bungoma Assistant County Commissioner Cornelius Nyaribai.

It is not clear how he managed to escape from police custody, but reports indicate that he walked out with no breakages reported.


Three police officers have reportedly been arrested over claims of aiding Wanjala’s escape from custody.

Meanwhile, Wanjala made headlines after he confessed to the murder of 13 children aged 15 and under between 2014 and 2021.

He was arrested by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in July this year, after a trail on 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.
