A man has allegedly confessed to killing at least 10 children over five years in Kenya.

Masten Milimo Wanjala, was arrested on Wednesday after investigations into the recent killing of two boys.

The children's bodies were found dumped in Kabete area near the capital, Nairobi.

Detectives say Mr Wanjala confessed to killing the two children and several others aged between 12 and 13.

The 20-year-old man is alleged to have said that he sucked the blood of some of his victims and given vivid descriptions of the crime scenes.

Police are following leads to recover the bodies of the other children and will charge Mr Wanjala with all the murders.

But the arrest is not receiving much praise in Kenya, reports the BBC.
