Following the discovery of more than 100 of his followers in mass graves last month, the leader of a Kenyan doomsday cult has appeared in court.
Former taxi driver Paul Nthenge Mackenzie is accused of urging his followers to starve themselves to death in order to enter heaven before the world ended.
Another pastor, televangelist Ezekiel Odero, is scheduled to appear in a separate court on charges that include murder and aiding suicide.
Kenya’s chief pathologist said on Monday that the first autopsies of the victims, nine children, and a woman, revealed that they died of starvation and asphyxiation in two cases.
