Dozens of bodies have been discovered in mass graves on an 800-acre forest in southeastern Kenya, where followers of a suspected religious cult were allegedly told to starve themselves to death. The death toll has reached 90, with over 200 people reported missing. The victims are believed to be followers of Paul Nthenge Mackenzie and his self-proclaimed Good News International Church. Mackenzie has surrendered to police and is accused of luring his followers to the property and instructing them to fast until death.
