Remember that name. He has been branded a serial killer after his connection to the death of 11 elderly women.

The Kenyan immigrant was a healthcare worker at the time he committed those crimes.

Billy has been indicted on two further counts of capital murder in North Texas after previously being charged with smothering almost a dozen elderly women to death.

According to court documents, Billy smothered the women to death with a pillow.

He is suspected of being involved with more than 1,000 unexplained deaths in Texas.

On February 25, 2020, Billy had been indicted on 14 capital murder charges in total, all of which involved elderly people and many of whom lived in assisted living facilities.
