Rising Death Toll in Kenyan Starvation Cult Shockingly Uncovered.

The death toll from a suspected Kenyan starvation cult has risen to 90, including many children, with fears more corpses could be found as search teams unearthed 17 bodies on Tuesday. Cult leader Paul Mackenzie Nthenge is accused of driving his followers to death by preaching that starvation was the only path to God. The majority of the dead were children, highlighting the macabre nature of the cult's alleged practices which included urging parents to starve their offspring. The discovery of mass graves in Shakahola forest near the coastal town of Malindi has shocked Kenyans, with Kenya's government vowing to crack down on fringe religious outfits in the largely Christian country.
