Kenyan pastor who urged followers to starve for Jesus convicted of 191 murders

A Kenyan court convicted pastor Paul Mackenzie of murdering 191 people, including 190 children, after he allegedly urged members of his religious group to fast to death to “meet Jesus”. Twenty-eight other group leaders were also convicted, and all the defendants had pleaded not guilty. Justice Diana Mochache described violence against people who refused to fast and burials in Shakahola forest, where gravediggers found graves containing multiple bodies, including those of young children. Mackenzie founded Good News International Ministries in 2003 and preached against education and healthcare, among other things.
