Bodies found in mass graves linked to a religious group calling for fasting to "meet Christ" Fears are growing that more bodies could be found in the Shakahola forest near the coastal town of Malindi. Police have been conducting sweeps for days after receiving information about the group.
Good News International Church is headed by Paul McKenzie Nthingi, who said starvation sends his followers to God. He was arrested in 2017 on charges of "extremism" after urging families not to send children to school, noting the Bible does not recognize education.
