A Kenyan court has charged the leader of a starvation cult and dozens of suspected accomplices with murder over the deaths of nearly 200 people in a forest near the Indian Ocean. On Tuesday, Paul Nthenge Mackenzie and 29 other suspects pleaded not guilty to 191 counts of murder, according to court documents. Self-proclaimed pastor Mackenzie, who has already been charged with terrorism, manslaughter as well as child torture, and cruelty, is alleged to have incited hundreds of his acolytes to starve to death to “meet Jesus”.
