A police signal has been circulated asking officers in the capital city and its neighbouring counties to be on high alert for Masten Milimo Wanjala, a self-confessed serial killer who has escaped from police custody.
Wanjala, who admitted to killing more than 10 children, escaped from the Jogoo Road police station in Nairobi where he was being held.
The 20-year-old was expected in court later on Wednesday, October 13, and was to be charged with 13 counts of murder.
Last month detectives confirmed that Wanjala had killed four more minors in Bungoma, bringing to 13 the number of his victims.
Wanjala led detectives to two murder scenes in Machakos county, five in Nairobi and two in Kajiado.
