A Kenyan cult leader has been found guilty of 191 murder charges after instructing parents to starve their children. The leader, identified as Paul Mackenzie, established a doomsday sect in a forest and used religious teachings to enforce what authorities described as a "deadly fasting" regime among his followers.
Law enforcement intervened following a tip-off, which led to the discovery of extensive shallow graves near the forest community. Mackenzie was subsequently arrested alongside 30 other individuals in connection with the mass fatalities.
