A 20-year-old man, presented as a “vampire”, was arrested on Thursday in Kenya. He confessed to the murder of a dozen children, whose blood he sometimes sucked before murdering them.
Masten Milimo Wanjala was arrested for the murders of two young people aged 12 and 13 whose bodies were found in Nairobi, the country’s capital.
His arrest was a big step forward for the police, who are leading a wide-ranging investigation into missing children in Kenya. In recent weeks, an average of two children per day have vanished into the country.
The justice ordered the detention of the suspect for thirty days, to give time to the investigators to continue their research.
He admitted to several child murders
Wanjala has admitted to several murders of children aged 12 to 13, which have spread over the past five years following the same modus operandi. He thus has a habit of drugging his victims and emptying them of their blood, or sometimes of strangling them.
“Wanjala slaughtered his victims alone in the most ruthless way, sometimes sucking blood from their veins before murdering them,” Kenya’s Criminal Investigations Directorate (DCI) told social media, which describes him as ” a bloodthirsty vampire ”.

“In a detailed and harrowing account, the murderer recounted terrible details of how he lured his victims into his clutches before snatching the lives of these innocent children,” added the DCI. Wanjala would have even declared to the investigators to have no regrets, and on the contrary to have taken great pleasure in killing his victims.

Kenyan police fear the serial killer may be responsible for the disappearance of scores of other children in the country, whose cases have yet to be clarified. The cases of kidnappings have multiplied in recent months, especially on the way to school, sowing panic among families.
