TL;DR Summary

Children make up the majority of the 109 bodies found in mass graves linked to a cult in Kenya, according to the country's interior minister. Followers of the Good News International Church believed they would go to heaven if they starved themselves. The government is launching an air search over the Shakahola forest, where the bodies were found and is exhuming them. The leader of the church, Paul Mackenzie, has been in police custody since April 14. The government will announce new measures governing churches next week.
