00:00But first, over half a dozen Kenyan police have been arrested by their own over a jailbreak
00:06in which a suspected serial killer accused of murdering 42 women escaped from his cell.
00:12Collins Jumaissie was arrested in July before reportedly confessing to the killings.
00:17Now he's just one of 13 men who cut their way out of the Nairobi station where they
00:23were being held.
00:25Bastien Erenuyi brings us more from Nairobi.
00:31It was five in the morning when two policemen who were giving breakfast to the inmates of
00:35Gigeri's police station in Nairobi discovered an empty cell.
00:3913 men were supposed to sleep there, 12 Eritreans who were accused of illegal immigration and
00:44Collins Kalusha who is accused of the murders of 42 women.
00:48According to the police, these 13 men managed to escape by cutting the wires of the courtyard
00:54of the police station.
00:55There is now an investigation ongoing to locate these suspects.
00:59But according to the inspector general of the police, it could be an inside job from
01:04the police.
01:05He says that eight men have been arrested and that there is now an investigation ongoing
01:09to determine if they helped to organise this prison break.
01:13Collins Kalusha was supposed to be arraigned to the court on Friday.
01:17He was supposed to announce if he would plead guilty or not guilty.
01:21He's accused of the murder of 42 women.
01:25According to the police, he dismembered their bodies before hiding them in a dump site in
01:30Nairobi.
01:31When he was arrested in July, he first said that he killed these women before changing
01:36his mind.
01:37He later said that he was tortured by the police and that he did not kill anyone.
