The bodies are believed to be those of followers of a pastor based in coastal Kenya, Paul Mackenzie. He’s alleged to have ordered congregants to starve to death in order to meet Jesus. A cult was believed to be practising mass starvation. Mackenzie insists that he closed his church in 2019 and moved to his property in a forested area to farm.
