Kenyan Cult Leader and Followers Charged with Terrorism and Murder After Mass Deaths

TL;DR Summary
Kenyan cult leader Paul Mackenzie and 94 others are set to be charged with murder, terrorism, and other offenses over the deaths of more than 400 people found in mass graves in a remote forest. Mackenzie, a self-proclaimed pastor, denies responsibility for the deaths, but prosecutors allege that he encouraged his church members to move to the forest and prepare for the end of the world. The charges come after investigators found evidence linking the group to murder, assault, and "facilitating the commission of a terrorist act," as well as subjecting children to torture.
