Paul Mackenzie, the leader of the Good News International Church, was found guilty on Monday, October 19, 2026, of murdering 190 children and one adult. The conviction, handed down at Mombasa High Court in Kenya, stems from an organized system where Mackenzie used religious teachings to compel followers to fast until their deaths. The deaths occurred in Shakahola forest, where over 400 bodies have been exhumed since April 2023. A mitigation hearing is set for October 30, 2026, with sentencing scheduled for November 6, 2026.
