In a shocking development, Collins Jumaisi, the main suspect in the Kware killings in Nairobi, has escaped from custody at Gigiri Police Station. The escape, which occurred on Tuesday morning, involved not just Jumaisi, but 12 other suspects as well.
The breakout was discovered when officers attempted to wake the detainees for their morning tea. It was then that they realized the suspects had cut through a wire mesh that was part of the security surrounding the cells. The group managed to scale the perimeter wall and flee from the station.
The Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Mohamed Amin, confirmed the incident, expressing regret over the security breach. He assured the public that a fresh manhunt for the escaped suspects has been launched, emphasizing that the authorities are determined to bring them back into custody.
Jumaisi was a high-value detainee, awaiting his court appearance scheduled for Friday. His escape has raised serious concerns, with police sources suggesting that the breakout might have been facilitated by insiders. The fact that such a dangerous individual could escape from a high-security facility has led to speculation about possible complicity within the police ranks.
Top police officials rushed to Gigiri Police Station upon receiving the news of the escape, and investigations into the incident are ongoing. The public remains on edge as the search for Jumaisi and the other escapees intensifies.
