In brief
A Kenyan court is about to deliver a verdict in the case of Paul Mackenzie, a pastor who led a cult that allegedly killed 191 children by forcing them to starve in Shakahola forest. Mackenzie and 29 followers stand accused of mass murder, but all claim no one was forced to die. 400 graves have been found, some containing dozens of bodies, with many children buried in shallow pits. The cult banned education and medicine, claiming they were evil. While some followers still defend Mackenzie, relatives of the victims seek justice.
