'Church's failure to stop John Smyth cost my brother's life' - BBC Africa
It was December 1992. Guide Nyachuru was excited to attend a holiday camp. By the following morning, he was found dead at the bottom of a swimming pool. The camp was one of those run in Zimbabwe by John Smyth - a barrister who died in 2018 and who's at the heart of an absue scandal involving the Church of England. His sister, Edith, thinks that had the religious authorities acted in time, her brother could still be alive.
