The leader of a Kenyan starvation sect went on trial on Monday for manslaughter over the deaths of more than 400 of his followers in one of the world's worst cult-related tragedies.
Self-proclaimed pastor Paul Nthenge Mackenzie and dozens of other suspects pleaded not guilty in January to multiple counts of manslaughter, one of several cases against them over what is known as the "Shakahola Forest Massacre".
Mackenzie appeared in a magistrate's court in the Indian Ocean port city of Mombasa along with 94 other suspects, prosecutors and court officials said. "There has never been a manslaughter case like this in Kenya," prosecutor Alexander Jami Yamina told AFP, adding that they will be charged under a Kenyan law dealing with suicide pacts. "This is going to be a very unique manslaughter case."

Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki said, “This horrendous blight on our conscience must lead not only to the most severe punishment of the perpetrator(s) of the atrocity on so many innocent souls, but tighter regulation (including self-regulation) of every church, mosque, temple or synagogue going forward.”[3]
Thanks I will.
Was never all that much of me to begin with.
I’m of Irish ancestry. That I know of the Irish aren’t really known for being fat.
Well that’s good then. And yeah, Irish ain’t fatties. And you know, none of us were not so long ago. Look at any old movie from the 40s through the 70s... pretty much every man was fit and trim. The women were slender and sexy.
Maybe you are right and you’re the normal one. It has to happen once!
