Kenya's vampire.. killed 10 children and drank their blood for 5 years
Kenyan police say a man described by authorities as a "vampire" has confessed to the horrific killing of 10 children, and in some cases among his victims, "sucking their blood" before the killing.
Kenya's Criminal Investigation Directorate said 20-year-old Masten Melemo Wangala was arrested for the murder of two children whose bodies were found in a wooded area of the capital, Nairobi, according to the British newspaper, Daily Star.
The vampire of Kenya made headlines and the international media, because of his crimes, as he killed young children and not only that, but also sucked their blood in a way that brought to mind the famous legend of Count "Dracula".
The Kenyan vampire admitted to killing ten children and drinking their blood in a wave that lasted five years.
The policemen said that the Kenya vampire will be accused of several murders after he confessed to killing 10 victims and sucking their blood.
The shocking confessions of a Kenya vampire made the front pages of a chain of Kenyan newspapers on Thursday, and the two bodies found, "Junior Motoko Musyoka, 12, and Charles Obendo Bala, 13" were identified in Kapiti.
The Kenya vampire is now reportedly helping police recover the bodies of his victims, and has been linked to several other disappearances in recent months, though police say it is not yet clear what his motive was.
Police are trying to find out if the Kenya vampire had partners or if he was working alone, adding that he led investigators to the site of several murders, and the sites were thick bushes near corn plantations.
Police said the Kenya vampire had demanded the victims' families between £200 and £330 for their release.
Local media reported that the five-year killing spree began when he was only 16 years old.
Many of the victims' bodies were not found after being dumped into sewer lines.
