Police says nine bodies had been recovered so far and that autopsies are under way in Nairobi.
The prime suspect arrested over the discovery of mutilated female bodies in a Nairobi rubbish dump had confessed to killing 42 women, according to the Kenyan police.
“The suspect confessed to have lured, killed and disposed of 42 female bodies at the dumping site,” the head of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, Mohamed Amin, told reporters on Monday.
“We are dealing with a serial killer, a psychopathic serial killer who has no respect for human life,” Amin said earlier after announcing the arrest.
He also said that a second suspect, who was caught with a handset from a victim, was also arrested.
Acting Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja said the 33-year-old prime suspect had been arrested at about 3am local time (00:00 GMT) near a bar in a joint operation by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations and the National Police Service.
