Kenya: autopsies of the investigation into a sect begin Kenyan pathologists on Monday began autopsiing the bodies of those found dead as part of the investigation into a religious cult. These members of the international Good News church starved themselves to death believing that this would lead them to heaven. 101 bodies were found in shallow graves in Shakahola Forest. A few people, who were found alive, died on the way to the hospital. Authorities say most of the bodies found so far are children. DNA samples from more than 100 corpses will therefore be taken in order to compare them with those of relatives who have reported the disappearance of their loved ones. More than 300 people were missing. On Monday investigators said 10 autopsies had been carried out, including 9 children aged 18 months to 10 years and one adult woman. A Kenyan pathologist said the bodies showed signs of starvation and in some cases asphyxiation. This Christian-inspired sect was founded by Paul Mackenzie Nthenge, a former taxi driver. He is in custody and would refuse to drink and eat.

Deploring a lack of "transparency" and "equity" , Ms. Gbagbo also asked for a postponement of the regional and municipal elections scheduled for September 2023, the first in which her party, created in 2022, will take part.
