Kenyan cult leader Paul Mackenzie sentenced to 200 years in prison for the murder of 190 children and one adult

In Kenya, cult leader Paul Mackenzie has been sentenced to 200 years in prison for the murder of 190 children and one adult. The High Court found him guilty along with 28 co-defendants in October. Investigators uncovered mass graves in April 2023, revealing over 400 bodies, many of which showed signs of starvation and violence. Some bodies were missing organs, indicating possible organ trafficking. Mackenzie, a former taxi driver, led a doomsday cult that encouraged followers to fast to meet Jesus, resulting in the deaths of many, particularly children. The court dismissed the defendants' claims of not forcing fasting, confirming their guilt.
