The arrest of an alleged serial killer in Kenya has shocked the country – but many have serious questions about the circumstances of his arrest.<\/p>\n

Police say Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, 33, confessed to killing 42 women – though his lawyer told a court on Tuesday he was tortured into a confession<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is the latest twist in a perplexing story that followed the recent discovery of the dismembered remains of nine bodies wrapped in plastic at a disused quarry, which is used as rubbish tip and is close to a police post in the capital, Nairobi.<\/p>\n

1) How did the bodies end up metres from a police post?<\/h2>\n

Many people are finding it hard to understand that the police were unable to detect that bodies were being left around 100m (109 yards) from one of their offices in the informal settlement of Mukuru Kwa Njenga.<\/p>\n

Residents have criticised officers for their \u201claxity and unprofessionalism\u201d in dealing with the crime.<\/p>\n

In response, acting police chief Douglas Kanja announced on Sunday that the officers from Kware police post near the scene had been transferred.<\/p>\n

It is not clear whether they have been questioned over how the deaths went unnoticed.<\/p>\n

But given the force’s poor human rights record, the police watchdog said it was undertaking a preliminary investigation to establish whether there was any police connection.<\/p>\n
