Paul Mackenzie, the infamous leader of a Kenyan doomsday cult, has been convicted of mass murder, with the court finding him guilty of directing the starvation of 191 people, including nearly 200 children. His cult, which taught beliefs centered around meeting Jesus, led many followers to believe that extreme fasting was necessary for salvation. The tragic outcomes of his teachings resulted in more than 400 deaths, drawing significant attention to the dangers of such extremist groups. The verdict has reignited discussions about the implications of religious fanaticism and the necessity for stricter regulations on cult-like organizations in Kenya.
