What the coverage says

Doomsday cult leader Paul Mackenzie has received a 200-year prison sentence following the deaths of 190 children and one adult. The fatalities occurred in the Shakahola Forest along the Kenyan coast across a period lasting from January 2021 to September 2023. The Guardian adds that these victims perished because the sect leader commanded his followers to starve themselves and their families.
