19-year-old Nakuru 'serial killer' detained for 30 days

Homicide detectives have been granted 30 days to continue detaining Ezekiel Mwangi Sakwa as they finalize probe into killings reported at Olrongai, Nakuru County.

The suspect was on Tuesday presented at Molo Law Courts where detectives sought more time to piece together evidence linking the 19-year-old to killings of four women.

Among those allegedly killed by the suspect was a 4-year-old minor and three women aged 15 to 35 years.

Police are seeking answers on whether the suspect has killed other people apart from the three.

Investigations revealed the suspect targeted and killed his victims in the same manner and in some instances sexually abused them.

Mwangi was arrested on Monday, in what police termed “a significant breakthrough,” saying he “is believed to be the mastermind behind several heinous crimes.”
