‘I fear for my sons’: Mother awaits DNA results on remains linked to Kenya’s starvation cult
Published By admin
Carolyne Odour has told the BBC she desperately fears for fate of her two young sons who went missing two months ago with their father – a follower of the teachings of a notorious starvation cult leader.
Ms Odour says that amid an ongoing investigation into more deaths linked to the cult she has identified her husband’s body at a mortuary in the coastal town of Malindi.
His corpse was found in July in the village of Kwa Binzaro, inland from Malindi and near the remote Shakahola Forest, where more than 400 bodies were found in 2023 in one of the worst ever cases of cult-related mass deaths.
Ms Odour is now awaiting the results of DNA tests being carried out on more than 30 recently unearthed bodies.
