Although the identities of his victims have not been officially released, one woman has come forward in interviews with local media claiming to have escaped from Kazungu.
Authorities say the suspect used different names in an attempt to hide his true identity. Police found the bodies after Kazungu’s landlord went to the authorities for help because he was not being paid rent.
