Kenya: Pastor charged for the deaths of 191 people

In Kenya, Pastor Paul Mackenzie and 29 followers have been charged with the deaths of 191 people at the Shakahola forest. Most of the victims were children who were reportedly coerced into starving themselves to death to "meet God." The pastor and his co-defendants have pleaded not guilty, claiming that no one was forced to die.

Authorities have unearthed 400 bodies from the Shakahola forest, where the pastor led his followers. Witnesses reported to the BBC that some child victims were found with their hands and legs tied. The pastor's teachings famously rejected modern medicine and formal education.
