200 YEARS — for the deaths of 190 children. ⚖️
📅 7 November 2026
A Kenyan court has sentenced cult leader Paul Mackenzie to 200 years in prison for the Shakahola Forest deaths: 100 years for murder by starvation, and 100 years for direct homicide.
Mackenzie told his followers to starve themselves — and their children — to reach heaven. Police later found 448 bodies in the forest; this trial covered 190 children and one adult. Twenty-eight of his followers were also convicted.
