Shakahola suspect explains how Mackenzie supervised grave digging, burials
Published By admin
The DPP has gained significant ground at the Shakahola massacre trial after a self-confessed suspect told a Mombasa court that controversial preacher Paul Mackenzie personally supervised grave digging and burials inside the forest settlement.
Enos Amanya Ngala alias “Haleluya”, who recently changed his plea and admitted involvement in the crimes, gave a detailed and emotional account of events that led to the deaths of 429 people.
Testifying before Chief Magistrate Alex Ithuku on Tuesday, the 51-year-old broke down as he narrated how six of his own children died following strict fasting directives allegedly issued by Mackenzie.
The testimony forms part of the ongoing prosecution of Mackenzie and 94 others who are facing 283 counts of manslaughter arising from the Shakahola tragedy.
Under questioning by State prosecutors, led by Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Jami Yamina, alongside Principal Prosecution Counsels Alex Ndiema, Victor Owiti and Betty Rubia, and Prosecution Counsel Yassir Mohamed, Amanya admitted he dug graves, provided security and conducted burials during both day and night shifts under direct instructions from Mackenzie.
