The guru of a Kenyan apocalyptic evangelical sect, found guilty of the murder of 190 children and one adult after encouraging his followers to starve themselves to "meet Jesus," was sentenced on Friday to 200 years in prison.
Judge Diana Kavedza Mochache, from an open-air courtroom in the port city of Mombasa, sentenced Paul Mackenzie to 100 years of imprisonment for each of the 183 victims who died of starvation and an equivalent sentence for eight others who died by "direct homicide," with these sentences to be served concurrently to "result in a total sentence of 200 years of imprisonment."
