Kenya Police: Four Die in Pastor-Led Fasting
Kenyan police said Friday they have launched a manhunt for a local cult leader, Makenzie Nthenge, after the death of four followers he reportedly told to starve themselves in order to "meet Jesus." The deceased are all members of the Good News International Church and were among about 15 people found in a house fasting. Most are now in stable condition, but police are investigating reports there may be as many as 30 more buried in a local forest. Pastor Nthenge was not immediately available for comment. Matthew Larotonda has the details.
