The last name I read aloud at last year’s Red Umbrella Day event was Jackeline Wambui.
From The Standard:
Serial killer Onyancha, two allies, charged
“Self-confessed serial killer Philip Onyancha and two of his alleged accomplices have been charged with murder.
(snip)
He has also confessed to killings of commercial sex workers Hellen Nyambura and Jackline Wambui, 25, whose bodies were found in lodging rooms at Rwambogo Bar and Restaurant and Suitable Bar in Thika.”
From All Africa:
Police Chiefs Summoned On Serial Killer Blunders
“Top police officers summoned to a meeting by Internal Security minister George Saitoti to discuss a series of chilling serial killings told him they were powerless to stop such crimes because the force does not have sufficient resources.
(snip)
But the position of the force is likely to trigger outrage from a stunned nation because self-confessed serial killer Philip Onyancha could have been stopped in his tracks if the police force had undertaken even elementary detective work.
(snip)
Had the officers at Karen and Lang’ata police stations shown interest in tracking down the killer’s mobile phone number through which he was demanding and receiving ransom money, the suspect could have been arrested as early as 2008 and the lives of many of his victims been saved.”
