NAIROBI: Ten more bodies have been recovered in Kenya’s coastal forest, where people are reported to have been made to starve to death after joining a doomsday cult.
This brings the number of bodies recovered to 211 as the police continue investigating the deaths.
After a two-day break, the exhumation process in the vast Shakahola forest continued on Tuesday.
Of the other bodies found by the government’s forensic team, two were children.
Three members of the religious cult were rescued in a critical condition after starving in the forest and were taken to a hospital for stabilization.
Those reported missing at the tracing centers remain at 610.
