Reports say seven fresh bodies were exhumed in the Shakahola forest in Kenya on Monday.
The exercise is a continuation of exhumations from a Kenyan forest where hundreds of victims of a cult were found buried last year. The total number of bodies now stands at 436 out of which 34 have been identified.
The first set of bodies which were discovered in April 2023 in the Shakahola forest, led to the arrest of Pastor Paul Mackenzie who allegedly led his followers to starve themselves to death “in order to meet Jesus”.
Mackenzie has been charged with 191 counts of murder, manslaughter, terrorism, child torture and cruelty of which he has pled not guilty.
