The death toll of people believed to be followers of cult leader Paul Mackenzie has hit 436 after seven more bodies were exhumed on Monday during the fifth phase of an ongoing recovery exercise. Chief Government Pathologist Dr Johansen Oduor confirmed the new findings, saying that the bodies were discovered in four graves—one mass grave containing four bodies and three individual graves. “One grave had four bodies, while the three others had one body each, which makes a total of seven bodies exhumed today. As per what I know, we have about 50 graves identified which we are going to work on until we finish up,” he said. Oduor said approximately 50 other graves have been identified in the forest.
