Billy Chemirmir, the Kenyan man based in Texas charged with killing 17 people may not be handed a death sentence.
In a statement, Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot, a death sentence is unlikely due to time constraints.
Creuzot said that his defence team and Prosecution will have to travel to his Baringo home in a bid to establish his mental history.
This would involve looking for potential witnesses and records about the 48-year-old still in police custody.
Given the Covid-19 situation in the world, the DA expressed uncertainty in travelling to Kenya.
Creuzot is hopeful to secure life imprisonment without parole.
“In effect, there will be no chance for Mr. Chemirmir to die anywhere except in a Texas prison,” the DA’s office told Fox News.
Chemirmir who hails from Eldama Ravine in Baringo County has 17 capital murder offences hanging on his head as well as two charges of attempted capital murder.
According to Dallas Morning News, Chemirmir worked as a healthcare worker in Texas but has a shady police record where he has been implicated in seven other deaths in North Texas bringing his accusations of capital murder to 24.
The 48-year-old Kenyan man according to police reports suffocated elderly women to death using a pillow and thereafter, made away with expensive jewellery, money and other valuable items.
He allegedly committed these acts in Dallas, and Collin counties in Texas. He was a regular ‘trader’ at pawn shops in the two counties where he sold the stolen jewellery.
Chemirmir is said to have been posing as a maintenance worker which was an easy way for him to gain access to these homes.
He was on Tuesday added three more capital murders by Dallas County grand jury. He was linked to the deaths of Joyce Abramowitz, Doris Wasserman and Margaret White who were murdered at The Tradition-Prestonwood between 2016 and 2017.
