Kenyan Religious Leaders Face Terrorism Charges Over Deaths and Starvation Cult.

Paul Mackenzie Nthenge, a religious leader linked to dozens of deaths in eastern Kenya, could face "possible terrorism charges," according to his lawyer. He was first arrested last month after police received a tip-off that his vast land contained mass graves. At least 109 bodies have been retrieved from the Shakahola forest, believed to be linked to a cult that allegedly encouraged its followers to starve themselves to gain salvation. Kenya's public prosecutions office previously said in its preliminary findings that Nthenge and other suspects "may have committed murder," as well as "counselling and aiding persons to kill themselves" by "promoting radical beliefs."
