A Mombasa court has issued an order for the continued detention of controversial televangelist Paul Mackenzie of the Shakahola starvation cult amid claims of radicalization in remand.
Mackenzie and his co-accused are linked with the Shakahola cult that led to over 400 deaths with the State seeking to establish the extend of his activities which included secret mass grave burials of starved followers.
The court has ruled to extend their detention for an additional seven days. Further, the court slotted a hearing for October 19 to providing direction on the matter. Lawyer Wycliffe Makasembo, acting on behalf of the suspects, opposed the detention, claiming that the accused's continued detention violates their rights as suspects.
