"We are dealing with a vampire, a psychopath," the head of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, Mohamed Amin, said after the arrest. This description underscores the gruesome nature of the crimes attributed to Collins J., who is alleged to have dismembered women and claimed a chilling total of 42 victims, with suspicions suggesting his wife was his first. The severity of the case has drawn critical attention to police methodologies and their operational failures, highlighting a growing crisis in public trust.
The suspect was charged with the murders of 42 women over the course of two years, including his wife who was allegedly the first victim. This stark revelation not only marks the chilling serial nature of the crimes but also points to systemic failures in the response of law enforcement to a potentially escalating threat, raising questions about the efficacy of investigations and preventive measures in place.
Kenyan police have already come under criticism following the discovery of the victim's bodies, which were found just 100 meters (328 feet) from a police station. This proximity raises ethical concerns about police effectiveness and accountability, emphasizing the criticism that police have faced regarding their failure to act when evidence was markedly close to their jurisdiction, as well as exacerbating fears of a societal breakdown concerning safety and protection from heinous crimes.
