Nairobi, Kenya – Since last week, police in Kenya have exhumed at least 73 bodies of people believed to have starved to death, from shallow graves in the country’s coastal region.
At the heart of the “massacre” is Pastor Paul Mackenzie, a controversial preacher at Good News International Church who indoctrinated his followers, asking them to abandon “earthly life” and meet at his 325-hectare (800-acre) farm in a village called Shakahola in Kilifi county for a fast “to meet Jesus”.

Am from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪am so shocked
Lord have mercy 😢😢😢🤔🤔😟😟
1:18 that body was extremely light. Are there kids involved?
So many kids too it’s unfortunate that parents would allow kids to fast to death 😢😢
Whole families….basically what they are getting are just bones…..Some of those found alive are very weak but also refusing any medical help….
Majority are Kids
How sad that there are so many people all over the world are so willing to ‘follow’ a mere mortal. If you really believe in a god, just sit yourself down somewhere, anywhere and talk to that god. You don’t need any kind of house of worship or a ‘pastor’ or a ‘leader’.
Well put
Please don’t use my savior Jesus Christ name in wrong preaching,This is the end times
End times? This is what Mackenzie told them. …..
The cult appears to be insane to trust in the words of a religious fanatic
Paul makenzy may God judge you for your crime in Jesus name, you are evil and wicked, God is angry with the wicked every day, there is no mercy for the wicked
😂😂😂 small brain people no wonder white people colonized them
Condolences to Tanzania from Kenya

This is Kenya 🇰🇪
Question: If this was the way to see Jesus and be saved, why did the leader not go first? Why is he still alive??? Does he, and others like him not know and understand that the God who he purports to serve will call him to account for this evil? and for misrepresenting the true God of the Bible?
@Lilliane Bwire most likely he took their money and eat it .
He told them the first priority were kids, then adult females, then adult males, then himself
You can asked the same question why does uhuru KENYAtta sent KDF to die in Somalia in the hands of the resistance as he drinks and and steals the public funds.
@Sareeye Ma Nusqaame It is the late President Kibaki who sent KDF to Somalia not Uhuru
@Nyaoke Top Cat to be honest though it’s western white supremacy who sent them to Somalia as mercenaries and proxies, they are not their for the benefits of Kenya nor Somalia.
Can’t feel sorry for this ones it’s stupidity at its best.
They got to meet Jesus? I’m sure they were hallucinating at one point due to the lack of and saw their own image of Jesus.
😢
My god
I believe I would do a better Job in reporting this than this lady.
No offence
..and what has prevented you from applying for the job? Tiga muhahi Kamau….Catherine Soi is a good reporter
@Kym Kkm wewe endelea kutake things personal. Ata criticism unaona ni Chuki
Another kibwetere
stop eating if you want to meet with Jesus!!! what about the Pastor Mckennzie why doesn’t he want to meet with Jesus his lord?? Alhamdulliah for the blessing of Islam and to be a muslim.
How can the government allow foreign media to mock the country this way 😢😮we are now the laughing stock
This is not mocking it is just what happened and other will get attention
Where is the mockery here 🤔
You mean Media should keep a blind eye the truth not to be seen, Just like the Government have been doing 🤔 but attack Peaceful Protesters with Teargas & live bullets 🤔
We thank God Media is showing what the Government is hiding 🙏🏾
The man is pure evil no matter your beliefs you can’t justify starving people to death.
Agreed.
Hope they meet Jesus …

Religion is not real people.
Germany has a large presence in Kenya, that charlatan is no Christian ‘pastor’.
Jones town reloaded…
Have they arrested this guy?
Yes he has been arrested
Smh 🤦🏽♀️ condolences to malindi from North kenya border. We love Esho (Jesus) too,but not that much.
Horrible what heresy gets people into. Those poor Kenyans don’t deserve this evil!
@Moses Codhex doesn’t your country have good religious preacher who can act against such
@DOOMER312 they maybe but I’m not religious. Most people who worship are plagued with ignorance that’s why they fall for such people.
@Moses Codhex they were lost souls who were manipulated by the foulest deceivers. God have mercy on them and empower the righteous to obliterate these heretics.
@Claes vanOldenphatt ignorance and poverty contributed to that
@Moses Codhex and who created those conditions of ignorance and poverty? This is colonialism’s long hangover.
The exaggeration surely 😢,,…
This isn’t the first time this has happened, and sadly, it won’t be the last. Something similar happened in Guyana, a country in South America, sometime in the early 80s. In that instance, Jim Jones, a white preacher, convinced over 900 African American followers to kill themselves by drinking cyanide-laced kool-aid in order to meet God in heaven. Black people tend to be overly religious, so they’re easily victimized in this way, over and over again, regardless of where they are on earth. Just look at the religious nonsense reflected in the comments that are most likely coming from black people! As a race, we are so desperate to believe in something, that we are easily manipulated by wolves in sheeps clothing, who enrich themselves and families while providing us with false hope!
The cost of having the right to free speech and religion!
All this it’s because of the bible
smh, how sad!
Blind leading the blind
Same group is in India Kerala muriyad known as zion same teaching like this cult destroying families
Satan is well and alive.
Africa with religion ☯️🥺🥺🥺
WaKenya what can’t you serve and love the Lord without cults. History can’t keep repeating itself for nothing😢😮
So sad 😭 good job he was caught and behind bars 🥀🌹🌷💐🌸🌺RIP
Shameful to be considered as African with Kenya….from the mighty land of Ethiopia
😡 🤬😡 🤬😡 🤬😡 🤬😡 🤬
Jesus is a dangerous man. Very sad indeed that these people died so tragically believing the false promise of meeting Jesus. If they had only waited as he is supposed to be coming sometime soon. Of course that won’t happen as he left for heaven immediately after his supposed resurrection at Bethany and then we learn that he ascended 40 days later at Mt Olivet. That was his second coming I guess. Maybe he will have a third coming. Wake up African people. Stop following or trusting those African pastors . Most of them a liars and thieves making money in the name of Jesus a dangerous man.
Show the pastors face😒
According to the Bible, dying will bring you closer to Jesus, so he’s not incorrect in that regard.
Ignorance
Religion, the original cult of grift.
Ppl should have been taught to question “elders” or “leaders” of so-called prayer groups when they begin spewing bullshits like giving up your whole wealth and starving yourselves to death with no intermittent meals and drinks in the name of God.
Why starve to meet Jesus. He will appear when when two or three are in the midst.
Whatever happened to common sense in people.
JESUS CHRIST IS LORD . Real living God. JESUS never said to anyone fast till death. This is absolutely cult leader. Not true pastor. Wrong doctrines. People are perishing without knowing correct word of God.
Gods judgement will come soon to false Mackenzie.
Even if anyone is alive ..with the way the guy is digging I don’t think anyone will be
You notice the pastor isn’t joining them…
These people never heard about Jim Jones? Difference is that those people died quickly. These died a slow and painful death. Most likely he took all their money.
People must read the Bible for themselves.
Wow people reported missing weeks after they die 🤔 corruption kills
Religion is doing what it knows best smfh
Aybo, i cant believe this is real😢 may God help our generation😮!!
2023…? and people still die that way!?
He was right
Jesus couldn’t save himself from crucifixion
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Europeans introduced to us fake Jesus while the Arabs gave fake Muhammad none of those is ours just a symbol of imperialism
Muhammad was given by the Arabs, watch yourself
Since dawn of Man Religion has killed more people than all diseases combined. Sadly!
Boycott churches and Christianity in Africa
How about somemiddle east news ☺️
Satan is now smiling after fooling our brothers and sisters through pastors
So sad 🙁
Cary
Soi clearly needs counselling. What she’s seen has left her in short of words. 😳
Innallillah wainna ilayhi rajioun..
This is the answer that you should seek to answer, Why?
How come the government knew nothing about these atrocities.
Perfect example of why I despise all religion.
❤Alhamdulillah❤ for Islam…
THATS HOW POLICE IN AFRICA DONT REALISE ITS THERE JOB NOW TO FIND OUT THOSE THIEVES EVERY MAN WHO FAILS TO WORK OPPENS A CHURH IN AFRICA AND THE GOVEMENTS ARE QUITE
… What is happening in this world???
Religious brainwashing is real in Africa
Kenya to the world I feel ashamed being Kenyan this is criminal
As a Kenyan,Africa woman its time for us to go back to our roots,, religious is brainwashing our people, some believe its wicked to b rich bcoz there is wealth in heaven,we r interpreting in a wrong way,God has given us mind to think,,bt its true our people are going astray for lack of knowledge,how can someone ask u to starve to death to see Jesus,its 😂 ridiculous,
Hard to understand this
Brothers and sisters repent Jesus is coming repent end time is real
Religion!!! Why
Another Jones story, 😢😢😢😢 the devil is a liar!
Do you call this being naïve or you call it stupidity. . . How can normal people be subject to such situations and beliefs in other to seek the kingdom of God 😳 ABSURD!
🙏💛
JESUS has shown us how to live a life that is seeking him is not about hunger strike or through suicide
Jesus said that in th last day people who come and say that Jesus is here or there but never hearken to them before he will ascend with his angel from heaven
Evil pastor
Churches are the scariest places now. They brain wash you, inflict fear and before you know it 😢
Independent investigators required on this matter. Something Not adding up. Mackenzie and his unusual preaching could be the perfect scapegoat to Cover up greater crime. The Media has been used to Propaganda this. Question everything, eyes wide open Kenya.
Om santi
Sad..he did not fast but asked his followers to not eat..People are gullible
My condolences to my Ugandan brothers and sisters
