A court in Kenya has convicted cult leader Paul Mackenzie and roughly 30 other defendants of murder in connection with the deaths of 190 children and one adult.
Prosecutors said Mackenzie and his church established a sect that instructed followers to starve themselves and their children.
Police arrested Mackenzie in 2023 following a tipoff. Weeks afterward, authorities began finding bodies buried in shallow graves in Shakahola forest, near the coast in south-eastern Kenya.
