Kenyan cult leader sentenced to 200 years in prison for child murders

Paul Mackenzie, a Kenyan preacher, received a 200-year prison sentence for the murder of 190 children and one adult linked to a starvation cult. His actions led to the discovery of numerous bodies in the Shakahola Forest, where he encouraged followers to starve themselves to reach Jesus. Convicted alongside 28 others, Mackenzie plans to appeal his sentence. Prosecutors sought the death penalty, but the judge opted for a lengthy prison term instead, citing the convicts' beliefs about death. Mackenzie faces additional charges in separate trials, while the case has sparked discussions on regulating religious groups in Kenya.
