Shakahola Cult: Infamous Preacher Mackenzie And 17 Others Charged

Paul Mackenzie, a preacher for the Good New International, and 17 other people have been charged at the Shanzu Magistrate Court.

Yusuf Shikanda, Shanzu Senior Principal Magistrate, will hear the case. Among the heinous crimes Mackenzie, his wife Rhoda Mumbua Maweu, and the others are accused of committing are murder, abduction, radicalization, genocide, crimes against humanity, child abuse, fraud, and money laundering.

Investigators are looking into the preacher of the Good News International Church, which was purportedly shut down in 2019, for the starvation deaths of over 100 individuals who were allegedly his supporters and were buried in mass graves at Shakahola in Magarini, Kilifi county.
