Published By admin with Comments 0
Video clips related to the Shakahola forest cult, linked to controversial pastor Paul Makenzie, were shown in court for the first time, revealing numerous malnourished followers unable to escape from police during a raid.
The footage depicts women lying helplessly in thickets, unable to stand or walk as authorities searched Chakama Ranch for the graves of two missing children.
Chief Inspector Sawe Kigen presented additional videos documenting the exhumation of bodies from shallow graves in Shakahola Forest. In one clip, authorities uncovered seven bodies from a single grave.
Kigen reported that the exhumation process began on April 21, 2023. “On May 10, 2023, we recovered 69 bodies. We distinguished between the bodies retrieved from the forest and those exhumed,” Kigen stated.
The clips also indicate that followers of the Good News International (GNI) church intended to establish large-scale irrigation farming in Chakama Ranch.
