Death toll of Kenya cult rises to 133

Investigators in Kenya have exhumed 21 more bodies, after they restarted a search for victims of a doomsday cult.

The new discoveries bring the total of those known to have died to 133.

Hundreds of others have been reported missing.

Pastor Paul Mackenzie, the leader of the Good News International Church, is awaiting trial, accused of ordering his followers to starve themselves to death.

Kenya’s interior minister, Kithure Kindiki, said they were investigating allegations that body parts may have been removed from some of the corpses for organ harvesting.

Bad weather had delayed the resumption of the search operation in the Shakahola forest
