A 19-year-old Ezekiel Sakwa Mwangi, alias Kwame, linked to the murder of four women, including a minor, in the Rongai sub-county in Nakuru, has been arraigned.
Mwangi was charged with four counts of murder before the Nakuru High Court, to which he pleaded not guilty.
DCI detectives said their probe uncovered a gruesome timeline of events spanning from July to August 2024.
Mwangi is suspected to have sexually assaulted his victims.
According to DCI, the horror began on July 13, 2024, when five-year-old Alice Ayuma was found dead in a maize plantation in the Mwangaza area, her body bearing the marks of a brutal assault with a rungu.
The violence continued on August 5, 2024, when Virginia Njeri Mwangi met a similar fate at the Menengai prayer cave.
The following day, in Kalyet village, 34-year-old Florence Mueni Mwalimu was struck down, and her body discarded in a bush.
The killing spree culminated on August 7, 2024, along the railway line at Baraka Estate, where Vellah Moraa Mogambi was attacked and fatally wounded.
The case is set for mention on October 15, 2024.
