Wanjala admitted to drugging and murdering more than 10 boys since 2019, and to drinking the blood of some.[1][4] He gained their confidence by pretending to be a football coach, and held some for ransom.[5] The bodies of at least four victims were recovered after Wanjala led police to the locations where he disposed of them. Of these victims, two had been strangled, a third died of head injuries, and the fourth child's cause of death could not be established.[4]
He was arrested on 14 July 2021,[4] and was held at Jogoo Road police station, but had yet to be charged[6] when he escaped from custody on 13 October.[7] The three police officers on duty at the time were arraigned on charges of allowing and assisting his escape; they said there was a power cut at the police station that night.[6] Two days after his escape, Wanjala was lynched by an angry mob in Mukhweya, Bungoma County, where his parents live; his parents have since disowned him.[1][5]
