Kenyan police exhuming bodies from suspected Christian cult graves in investigation.
TL;DR
Kenyan police have begun exhuming remains from over a dozen suspected graves in the east of the country, believed to contain followers of a Christian cult who starved themselves to death in the belief that they would go to heaven. The leader of the Good News International Church, Paul Mackenzie, was arrested following a tip-off that suggested the existence of shallow graves belonging to at least 31 of his followers. Four of the 15 rescued worshipers died before they reached hospital.
