Kenyan cult leader sentenced to 200 years in prison for the murder of 190 children

In October, Paul Mackenzie and several followers were found guilty of murdering 191 individuals in Kenya. Mackenzie was arrested in 2023 after police received a tip-off, leading to the discovery of numerous bodies in shallow graves in the Shakahola forest. His followers believed he was 'the mouthpiece of Jesus,' rejecting education and modern medicine. Mackenzie and his followers claimed innocence, stating they did not force anyone to starve. Investigations into nearly 200 additional deaths are ongoing.
