Abstract

B Victims of the Shakahola Forest Massacre surpass 200 as evidence of more extreme religious sects emerges. b The death toll in a probe into a Kenyan cult suspected of urging followers to starve themselves to death rose to 226 on May 17th after 15 more bodies were found, the authorities said. Prosecutors have also claimed that Odero and Mackenzie share a "history of business investments" including a television station used to pass "radicalised messages" to followers. In his filing to the court, Odero said he wanted to "strongly disassociate" himself from Mackenzie and disagreed with his teachings. [Extracted from the article]
