“Cult Leader Suspected in 43 Deaths in Kenya, Local Politicians Urge for No Bail Release”

As a result, the total number of dead has reached 43 people, but it may still increase, as not all graves have been dug up.

Mackenzie has been arrested twice before in connection with the deaths of children. He was released on bail both times. The investigation of these cases is still ongoing.

Local politicians have urged the court not to release him this time, condemning the spread of cults in Malindi County.

Cults are common throughout Kenya.
