KENIA

Noch mehr Tote von der Kenia Ranch exhumiert

By Ninian Carter

April 26, 2023 - Die Zahl der Toten steigt weiter unter den Anhängern des keniatischen Kults, die man glauben ließ, dass sie in den Himmel kommen, wenn sie verhungern

The death toll among followers of a Kenyan starvation cult called the Good News International Church, has reached at least 90, with the Red Cross saying more than 200 people are still missing.

Pastor Paul Mackenzie Nthenge, who heads the cult, is accused of luring followers to the 320-hectare coastal Shakahola ranch, and convincing them to fast until death in order to “meet Jesus”.

Nthenge has been arrested twice in connection with the deaths of children – once in 2019 and again in March this year. Each time he was released on bail.
