K Kenyan Court Charges Paul Mackenzie with 52 Additional Deaths

Mackenzie has been charged with organised criminal activity, radicalisation, and facilitating ‘terrorism’.

A Kenyan preacher, Paul Mackenzie, and seven associates have been charged with organized criminal activity and facilitating terrorism following the discovery of over 52 bodies in shallow graves linked to a doomsday cult. They were accused of promoting extreme beliefs that led followers to starve themselves and their children. Mackenzie, who has pleaded not guilty, remains in custody as prosecutors investigate further deaths connected to the cult. This case has prompted discussions on stricter regulation of fringe religious groups in Kenya.
