Kenyan Cult Death Toll Reaches 73, President Compares to Terrorism

The death toll of followers of a Kenyan pastor who allegedly told them to fast to death in order to meet Jesus has risen to 73. The pastor, Paul Makenzi, has been arrested and compared to a terrorist by Kenyan President William Ruto. Dozens of shallow graves marked with crosses were found on Makenzi's 800-acre ranch. The case is being investigated as a criminal matter not linked to any religion. Cults are common in Kenya, which has a largely religious society.
