Autopsies on corpses found in mass graves, as part of a starvation cult in Kenya, revealed that some of the bodies were missing organs, which raised suspicions of forced organ harvesting.
Kenyan authorities continue to exhume bodies in search for victims of a doomsday cult in the country’s southeast.
As of Friday, the death toll stood at 179.
Paul Mackenzie, leader of the Good News International Church, has been accused of ordering his followers to starve their children and themselves to death so they could go to heaven before the end of the world.
While starvation appears to be the main cause of death, some of the victims – including children – were strangled, beaten, or suffocated, according to the chief government pathologist, Dr Johansen Oduor.
