肯尼亚法院裁定饥饿邪教头目马肯齐等人谋杀罪成 涉190名儿童与1名成人死亡
据路透社10月19日报道，肯尼亚一家法院周一裁定，饥饿邪教头目保罗·马肯齐（Paul Mackenzie）与约30名其他被告谋杀罪成，案件涉及190名儿童和1名成人死亡。
路透社称，这是近年来全球最严重的邪教相关灾难之一。马肯齐原是一名出租车司机，2003年创办「好消息国际教会」；其追随者被指在肯尼亚沿海城镇Malindi附近Shakahola的森林中活活饿死。2023年4月，当地浅葬墓穴中掘出400多具遗体，案件震动肯尼亚全国。马肯齐等人否认相关指控。

Kenyan Court Finds Starvation Cult Leader Mackenzie and About 30 Others Guilty of Murder over Deaths of 190 Children and One Adult
A Kenyan court on Monday found starvation cult leader Paul Mackenzie and about 30 others guilty of murder over the deaths of 190 children and one adult, Reuters reported on October 19.
Reuters described the case as one of the world's worst cult-related disasters in recent history. Mackenzie, a former taxi driver who founded his Good News International Church in 2003, is accused of ordering his followers to starve to death in the forest at Shakahola, near the coastal town of Malindi; more than 400 bodies were unearthed from shallow graves there in April 2023. Mackenzie and the other defendants denied the charges.
The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights welcomed the verdict. (GSM, via Reuters)
