Polisi nchini Kenya Ijumaa wamepata miili 29 zaidi katika Msitu wa Shakahola, idadi kubwa zaidi ya kila siku tangu uchimbaji wa kaburi uanze mwezi uliopita, ikiwa ni uchunguzi dhidi ya sakata la Mchungaji Paul Mackenzie.
Awamu ya pili ya uchimbaji wa miili ilianza wiki hii, baada ya timu inayoongozwa na mtaalamu mkuu wa serikali Johansen Oduor kumaliza kukagua miili 112. Zoezi hilo lilikuwa limesitishwa kutokana na mvua kubwa iliyonyesha katika eneo hilo.
Polisi pia waliripoti siku ya Ijumaa kwamba hakukuwa na waokoaji na kwamba idadi ya washukiwa waliokamatwa kutokana na vifo vya waumini wa kanisa la Mackenzie imesalia 25.
Idadi ya watu walioripotiwa kupotea imeendelea kuongezeka na kufikia 609. Wapelelezi pia walisema lengo lingehamia kwenye boma la Mackenzie.
============
Kenya police on Friday found 29 more bodies in Shakahola Forest, the highest daily count since exhumations began last month, in the probe into cult leader Paul Mackenzie.
The second phase of exhumations began this week, after a team led by the chief government pathologist Johansen Oduor finished examining 112 bodies. The exercise had been suspended due to heavy rains in the area.
Police also reported on Friday that there were no rescues and that the number of suspects arrested over the deaths of members of Mackenzie’s church remained 25.
The number of people reported missing continued to rise reaching 609.
Detectives also said that focus was going to shift to Mackenzie’s homestead.
Police believe most of the bodies are of Mackenzie’s followers, whom he allegedly ordered to starve to death “to meet Jesus”.
While starvation appears to be the main cause of death, some of the victims including children were strangled, bludgeoned to death or suffocated, according to Oduor.
