Carolyne Odour has told the BBC she desperately fears for the fate of her two young sons who went missing two months ago with their father - a follower of the teachings of a notorious starvation cult leader. Ms Odour says that amid an ongoing investigation into more deaths linked to the cult she has identified her husband's body at a mortuary in the coastal town of Malindi. His corpse was found in July in the village of Kwa Binzaro, inland from Malindi and near the remote Shakahola Forest, where more than 400 bodies were found in 2023 in one of the worst ever cases of cult-related mass deaths. Ms Odour is now awaiting the results of DNA tests being carried out on more than 30 recently unearthed bodies. I felt pain. I barely recognised him. His body was badly decomposing, Ms Odour, 40, said about her husband Samuel Owino Owoyo. She believes her sons, 12-year-old Daniel and nine-year-old Elijah, travelled with their 45-year-old father to Kwa Binzaro at the end of June. Self-proclaimed pastor Paul Mackenzie is currently on trial over the so-called 'Shakahola Forest Massacre' and has pleaded not guilty to manslaughter. He is alleged to have told his followers they would get to heaven more quickly if they stopped eating, and there have been concerns he has been in touch with his followers from jail. Ms Odour expressed that her husband's fascination with Mackenzie's teachings deepened over the last four to five years, causing tension regarding their children's education and health. On June 28, her husband left home with the two boys under the pretense of visiting his village, but Ms Odour was soon suspicious when they failed to return. Tragically, on August 19, she confirmed his death, learning that he was found linked to the cult's activities. The investigation, which has led to the exhumation of multiple bodies, remains a source of distress as Ms Odour continues to wait for news on her sons. Dr. Raymond Omollo, a senior civil servant, mentioned efforts to combat religious extremism in Kenya, highlighting plans to introduce stricter regulations for religious organizations.
