Exhumations in the Kenyan forest of Shakahola where hundreds of victims of a doomsday cult were found buried last year, have continued, leading to the unearthing of 7 new bodies. This brings the total number of bodies discovered from the mass graves to 436.
The exhumations were put on hold last year, to allow for DNA matchings of the bodies, but only 34 of the victims have been identified.
Bodies were first discovered in April 2023 in the Shakahola forest near the Kenyan coast, leading to the arrest of pastor Paul Mackenzie who is alleged to have led his followers to starve themselves to death in order “to meet Jesus”.
Mackenzie has been charged with child torture and cruelty, but has pleaded not guilty to 191 counts of murder, manslaughter and terrorism.
