Written by Tunde Adeyemi on November 10, 2023
The Kenyan pastor, Paul Mackenzie, accused of leading a cult and being responsible for the deaths of more than 400 people has been found guilty on separate charges.
Mackenzie has not been formally charged in relation to the death of hundreds of his alleged followers, despite being in custody since April.
A court in the coastal town of Malindi convicted him of illegally operating a film studio associated with his preaching and distributing films without a valid filming licence.
The magistrate, however, acquitted him of the offence of inciting children against attending school.
Mackenzie could face imprisonment of up to five years or pay a fine.
His Sentencing has been scheduled for next month.
