Ivomoku Bakusuba

I'd like to share this prolific serial killer whose story was released by documents in 2018.

Ivomoku Bakusuba was a Burundian serial killer who confessed to killing over 67 children.

It was said that in the 1940s Kayanza Province inhabitants were panicked by Ivomoku, a serial killer whose information is very limited. Ivomoku was arrested in 1944, and during his arrest he confessed to having killed 67 children. He committed suicide, "probably in the late 1940s or early 1950s".

Most of his victims were poor girls and boys, as Ivomoku himself was a poor man from Kayanza, and he killed his victims by strangling them with a bedsheet.

The serial killer was revealed by 78-year-old police officer Marce Nbay Jean during a conversation with Brazilian Manoel Barbosa Tettoni. Marce showed Tettoni documents on Ivomoku.
