A cult leader suspected of killing at least 110 people in Kenya was re-arrested by authorities on Tuesday and charged with terrorism after a court closed the first case against him.
Paul McKenzie, leader of the International Church of the Good News, who has been in detention since April 14, appeared before a Kenyan court earlier that day to hear the prosecution’s motion to drop the case against him.
The court granted the motion and ordered his release, although he was immediately detained along with six other suspects pending a new trial, a decision that was welcomed by the families of the victims and civil society organizations, Kenyan newspaper The Standard reported.
