A Kenyan court has ordered the exhumation of bodies suspected to belong to individuals who were starved and suffocated in Kilifi County, where hundreds of members of a doomsday cult were found dead two years ago.
The bodies are believed to be buried in shallow graves on the outskirts of Malindi, and 11 suspects are being investigated for possible links to the deaths.
Prosecutors suspect multiple individuals were murdered through starvation and suffocation due to extreme religious ideologies.
The court ordered postmortem examinations, DNA testing, and toxicological analysis to be conducted on the exhumed bodies.
