A pastor in Kenya, Paul Mackenzie, has been convicted for the deaths of 190 children due to starvation following his teachings about the approaching end of the world. Mackenzie instructed his followers to fast to death in order to “meet Jesus,” believing this would hasten the apocalypse. Authorities in Kenya began investigating after reports of mass graves linked to his church emerged in Shakahola forest. The investigation revealed a disturbing pattern of families abandoning their lives and heading to remote areas based on Mackenzie’s directives. Hundreds of bodies have been exhumed, with the death toll continuing to rise as searches continue in the dense Shakahola forest. This conviction marks a significant step in holding Mackenzie accountable for orchestrating a tragic and deadly cult that resulted in the deaths of hundreds, including many children, in Kenya.
