Photos: 47 dead bodies discovered After Pastor Paul Mackenzie Nthenge told his members to starve themselves to death to see Jesus In Kenya
47 dead bodies has been discovered in shallow graves by the Police in Shakahola forest, Kenya, after Pastor Paul Mackenzie Nthenge told his members to starve themselves to death to see Jesus
Authorities announced seven deaths on Saturday in conjunction with the investigation into Paul Mackenzie Nthenge’s arrest, who allegedly instructed followers to starve themselves in order to “meet Jesus.”
State broadcaster KBC described him as a “cult leader”, and reported that 58 graves have so far been identified.
One of the graves is believed to contain the bodies of five members of the same family – three children and their parents.
Mr Nthenge has denied wrongdoing, but has been refused bail. He insists that he shut down his church in 2019.

Kenyan daily, The Standard, said pathologists will take DNA samples and conduct tests to determine whether the victims died of starvation.
Police arrested Mr Nthenge on 15 April after discovering the bodies of four people suspected of having starved themselves to death.
Victor Kaudo of the Malindi Social Justice Centre told Citizen TV “when we are in this forest and come to an area where we see a big and tall cross, we know that means more than five people are buried there”.
Kenyan interior minister, Kithure Kindiki, said all 800 acres of the forest had been sealed off and declared a crime scene.
Mr Nthenge allegedly named three villages Nazareth, Bethlehem and Judea and baptised followers in ponds before telling them to fast, The Standard reports.
Pastor Paul Mackenzie Nthenge established the Good News International church in Malindi sometime in 2003.
The religious leader is still drawing attention to his teachings sixteen years later, and as a result, he has run afoul of the police.
He and his wife Joys Mwikamba appeared in front of Malindi Chief Magistrate Dr. Julie Oseko in 2017 and entered a not guilty plea to the allegation of encouraging radicalization.
