Kenya starvation cult followers still refusing to eat

RELIGIOUS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – Dozens of followers of the Good News International Church in Kenya, whose leader told them to starve so they could meet Jesus soon, are refusing to eat weeks after being rescued.

The Telegraph reports that police have found 320 bodies in mass graves in a forest near the church, but there are a further 600 people missing.

Some people were rescued in the church but the 65 who have refused to eat are being charged with attempting to commit suicide, which is a crime in Kenya.

The report describes them looking emaciated in court, too weak to stand or stay awake.
