Paul Mackenzie, a contentious preacher, has recently made news for his suspected participation in the deaths of numerous persons who were allegedly his followers.
Prior to this, Mackenzie had denied any involvement in the incident that is now known as the “Shakahola Massacre.”
At first, Mackenzie was detained in relation to the starving deaths of two young people. He was, nonetheless, granted bail and denied any involvement in their killings. After 16 years of operation, Mackenzie said in a prior interview that he had closed the Good News International church in Shakahola in August 2019.
He asserted that the church was no longer functional because he had sold everything within. Further urging people to follow Christ rather than him, Mackenzie said that he himself was a follower of Jesus. The preacher, however, was subsequently detained by authorities in connection with the killings of dozens of people who were allegedly his disciples.
So far, 67 bodies have been excavated, and as detectives continue the exhumation, the number is expected to grow rapidly. Some of the dead were discovered in the same graves; six bodies were discovered in one grave. The church in question is situated on 800 acres of Mackenzie’s property.
The ‘Shakahola Massacre’ has shocked the nation, and many people are demanding justice for the victims. The debate surrounding this case has only grown more heated as a result of Mackenzie’s denial of any role in their deaths.
It is hoped that as the inquiry progresses, the entire scope of Mackenzie’s alleged role in this tragedy will become apparent and the victims’ and their families will receive justice.
