Five bodies recovered at suspected site of cult deaths in Kenya
Published By admin
At least five bodies have been recovered from shallow graves at a site in Kenya where victims of a religious cult are suspected to have been buried, according to authorities.
Excavations were continuing on Friday at the site on the outskirts of Malindi in southeastern Kenya’s Kilifi County, close to where hundreds of members of a doomsday cult were found dead two years ago.
Government pathologist, Dr Richard Njoroge, said on Thursday that the authorities expected to find more remains at the site.
“At the commencement of this exercise, we had 27 suspected graves. Today we managed to exhume six,” Njoroge said.
The pathologist added: “Of the six graves, we found five bodies. And then also around that area, we found 10 different scattered body parts, scattered in different places on the surface.”
Njoroge stressed that they expected to find more graves because the teams had not exhausted the search in a vast area.
“So we expect more bodies,” the official said.
