"Over 400 Victims of Kenyan Cult Starve to Death Saying 'You Must Starve to Meet Jesus'"

Additional Bodies Discovered in Nearby Forest
Evidence of Organized Organ Trafficking Attempt Also Found

The number of followers who starved to death under the coercion of a Kenyan cult leader who said, "If you want to meet Jesus, starve to death," has reportedly exceeded 400. The number of missing persons reported is over 600. Local investigative authorities plan to continue their investigation.

Kenyan local media 'The Standard' reported on the 17th (local time) that investigators discovered 12 additional bodies in the Shakahola forest near the 'Good News International Church' in the Kenyan town of Malindi.

Accordingly, the cumulative death toll in this church incident has reached 403. The actual number of victims is likely higher. Investigators are still conducting search operations, as new graves are being discovered daily in the forest.

The number of missing persons reported to the local Red Cross has reached 6,013, and authorities are expected to continue the body excavation operations.

This church was led by the cult leader Paul Enteng Makenzi. He prophesied April 15 as "Judgment Day" and brainwashed followers with the absurd doctrine that "If you want to meet Jesus, you must starve to death."

As a result, followers fasted in the forest for periods ranging from a few days to several months, ultimately leading to starvation. Some of the surviving followers are reportedly still refusing water and food, insisting they want to "meet Jesus."

Autopsies on some of the bodies discovered by the police revealed signs of organ removal, causing shock. The local chief investigator stated, "According to the report, some of the exhumed victims' bodies were missing organs," and speculated, "There may have been organized human organ trafficking."

Makenzi is currently charged with causing many deaths by enforcing the cult doctrine.

Meanwhile, Kenyan President William Ruto has promised efforts to regulate local churches and cults involved in the crime and has formed an investigative committee to continue further investigations into the incident.
