Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Kilifi County government in collaboration with Kenya Red Cross has established a contact and counselling desk to help families trace their loved ones who may have been affected by the Shakahola tragedy.<\/p>\n

Kenyans with missing relatives and friends have been advised to visit Malindi Sub-County Hospital for assistance. Some 213 people have so far been reported missing since the Shakahola massacre gained public limelight.<\/p>\n

Among them include 112 children aged below 18 years who are suspected to have been followers of controversial Pastor Paul Mackenzie. The body count had by Tuesday afternoon risen to 90 as detectives continued to exhume remains of people buried at his 800-acre land.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday alone, police dug up 17 bodies and rescued 32 people who were still alive but on the brink of death after days, or perhaps weeks, of fasting.<\/p>\n

Mackenzie, who has been in police custody since his arrest on April 15, was the presiding pastor at the Good News International Church. He is alleged to have indoctrinated members of the church to starve themselves to death in order to “meet Jesus”.<\/p>\n

Interior CS Kithure Kindiki visited the site on Tuesday and called for the controversial preacher to be charged with genocide. “I’m convinced beyond doubt that a case can be built for charging him and his collaborators with genocide under international and Kenyan law,” he said.<\/p>\n

This is in line with Article 2 on the UN Convention on the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide of 1948. Crimes under this category include murder, preventing giving birth among others, committed with intend to destroy in whole or in part of groups, including a racial, national ethnic or religious groups.<\/p>\n
