Mombasa’s High Court sentenced Paul Mackenzie, leader of the Good News International Church, to 200 years in prison for his role in the deaths of 191 people, most of them children, after he persuaded his followers to fast in Shakahola Forest to enter heaven. The sentence was divided into 100 years for the deaths by starvation and 100 years for intentional killing. The court said 183 victims died of starvation, while the others died by suffocation, strangulation or beatings. The judge rejected the death penalty, noting that it might not deter convicted offenders. So far, 429 bodies have been exhumed from the forest.
