A Kenyan court is set to deliver a verdict in the case of pastor Paul Mackenzie, accused of ordering parents to starve their children to death as part of his doomsday cult. Prosecutors allege Mackenzie continued directing followers to kill children even after his arrest, writing instructions from his prison cell that led to the latest victims' deaths. The case stems from a mass starvation cult tied to Mackenzie's Good News International Church in Kenya's coastal Kilifi region, where hundreds of bodies were previously exhumed. The verdict is being closely watched as a test of accountability for one of the country's most notorious mass-death cases.
