And some of these deaths are not as quick as drinking poison punch.
Cult members in Kenya actually starved themselves to death, which is a very slow and really grizzly death.
Very tragic story.
Newsweek reported that four people have died and 11 others are in hospital in Kilifi, Kenya, after starving themselves to see Jesus on the alleged orders of their preacher, according to reports. Three of those in hospital are in a critical condition.
Police in Nairobi attempted to rescue the suspected religious cult members from a forest where they were starving themselves on April 13, according to a Capital News report.
Police have said the group had been brainwashed by the leader of the Good News International Church, Makenzie Nthenge, who is also known as Paul Makenzie Nthenge.
According to a report in the publication The Standard, in 2019 Nthenge said he would close down the church following multiple legal issues.
Some of the charges he faced included disobeying the law, religious incitement and indoctrination of children. He denied the charges.
The scariest part of this story, is that authorities believe there are more people out in woods, likely dead
or clinging to life after starving themselves.
In addition, officials believe there’s a mass grave in the forest where other cult members are buried.
So incredibly sad.
