A Kenyan court is set to deliver its verdict Monday in the trial of pastor Paul Mackenzie, accused of ordering followers to starve 191 children to death.

• Mackenzie and 29 followers pleaded not guilty to murder, insisting nobody was forced to die.
• Authorities recovered more than 400 bodies from shallow graves in Shakahola forest after their 2023 discovery.
• The court heard testimony from over 120 witnesses covering events between 2021 and 2023.
• Mackenzie faces separate terrorism and manslaughter charges, which he denies.
