Self-proclaimed pastor, Paul Nthenge Mackenzie and the leader of a starvation cult has been charged with terrorism by the Kenyan Court.
Mackenzie who was charged over the deaths of more than 400 of his followers, was also charged with “organised criminal activity”, according to documents from the Mombasa court seen by AFP.
The cult leader and 94 other suspects pleaded “not guilty” to charges of radicalisation.
It was alleged that Mackenzie incited his acolytes to starve to death in order to “meet Jesus” in a case that provoked horror across the world.
A Kenyan judge had on Wednesday ordered Mackenzie and 30 associates to undergo mental health evaluations before being charged with the murder of 191 children whose bodies have been exhumed since last April from the Shakahola forest.
