He has been linked to several other disappearances in recent months, although police say it is not yet clear what his motive was.

Police are trying to determine if Wanjala had accomplices or if he worked alone.

The suspect drove detectives to the scene of several murders in July, with police taking photos and videos as evidence. Many of the crime scenes were dense bushes near corn plantations, and the young man also dumped the bodies in open sewer pipes.

Wanjala’s five-year killing spree began when he was just 16 years old, local media reported. He allegedly abducted 12-year-old Purity Maweu and sucked her blood before leaving her dead.

Wanjala is believed to have struck again, three years later, in western Kenya, killing 13-year-old Aron. The death of the young boy led to violent demonstrations in Kamukuywa, in which residents set fire to a house they believed belonged to the suspect.
