Kenya cult leader's children still being starved weeks before trial, son says

The eldest son of Kenyan cult leader Paul Mackenzie, convicted of murdering 191 people, says his younger siblings were still being forced to fast as recently as two weeks ago.

"They were basically forcibly fasted because they were denying food to them for almost three days," he tells BBC's Newsday.
