The father who lost all his children to a cult - BBC Africa
The leader of a doomsday cult in Kenya in which hundreds of people allegedly died from starvation has been charged with 191 counts of murder.
Paul Mackenzie and 29 others pleaded not guilty before a court in the coastal town of Malindi. More than 400 bodies, including those of children, were exhumed from shallow graves on a piece of land thought to be owned by the controversial preacher. He was earlier charged with committing acts of terror, child cruelty and torture, charges he denied. He is already serving a 1-year sentence for producing and distributing films – that’s videos of his controversial sermons - without license.
