21 More Bodies Exhumed From Shakahola Forest CapitalFMKenya: Kenya ShakaholaMassacre Shakahola
This raises the number of bodies so far exhumed to 133 with many more still believed to be buried in the dense forest where people were urged to starve to death in a religious cult.
Pastor Paul Mackenzie who is accused of indoctrinating his church followers to starve to death is in custody waiting to face terror-related charges as the state intensifies a crackdown on related activities. While starvation appears to be the main cause of death, some of the victims -- including children -- were strangled, beaten, or suffocated, according to chief government pathologist Johansen Oduor.
