Collins Jumaisi, the main suspect in the Kware dumpsite murders, is among 13 prisoners who have escaped from the Gigiri Police Station under unclear circumstances.
According to a police report seen by The Standard, Jumaisi and the other prisoners cut through the wire mesh at the station's basking bay before fleeing.
"An officer and the canteen manager discovered the escape when they went to serve breakfast and found the cell door open," the report read.
Jumaisi, 33, was in custody for murder charges, awaiting arraignment.
The remaining 12 escapees, identified as illegal immigrants, are still at large.
