Kenyan cult leader on trial over hundreds of follower deaths
Original: good news international ministries
Paul Mackenzie, leader of the Good News International Ministries in Kenya, is standing trial over the deaths of hundreds of his followers, who prosecutors say starved themselves to death after he told them to fast to meet God. The Shakah ranch case, uncovered in 2023, is one of the world's deadliest cult tragedies, and hearings continue to draw close attention in Kenya and abroad.
Why now: Ongoing trial coverage of one of the deadliest cult-related death tolls ever recorded keeps the case in the news.
