More than 400 people died of starvation in a Kenyan forest after their pastor, Paul Mackenzie, deliberately ordered them to go without adequate food. Mackenzie had once driven a taxi in a Kenyan tourist town before founding his own church. That church was responsible for one of the worst cult-related mass killings recorded in 2023. The victims were members of the group he led, and their deaths became the focus of a criminal case. Mackenzie has now been convicted in connection with the mass starvation. The trial centered on his responsibility for the conditions that led to the victims' deaths. The brief report does not identify the court or the sentence imposed. It also does not specify the forest where the victims died.
