Suspected child serial killer Masten Wanjala has escaped from Jogoo Road Police Station.

It is not clear how he managed to escape from the highly guarded police station. This emerged after he failed to appear in court where he was expected to appear in connection with the murder of 12 children.

A source from the police has said the 25 year-old has escaped from the station and a manhunt has been launched to re-arrest him.

“Everyone was shocked when it turned out that Wanjala was nowhere to be seen and immediately officers were dispatched to check around on his whereabouts,” said the source.
