Controversial preacher Paul Mackenzie, along with self-styled priestess Shallyne Anindo Temba and four others, have been charged in Mombasa over a new wave of cult-related deaths in Kwa Bi Nzaro forest, Kilifi County. This incident, dubbed "Shakahola season two" by investigators, saw the accused allegedly lead a suicide pact resulting in the deaths of 29 victims between January and July 2025.

• Mackenzie is accused of directing the new "suicide pact" from his prison cell at Shimo La Tewa Maximum Security Prison.
• The accused face charges including murder, radicalisation, and terrorism-related offences, with allegations of promoting an extreme belief system rejecting the Government of Kenya's authority.
• The deaths are linked to the larger Shakahola tragedy, where Mackenzie faces similar charges for over 450 deaths, with forensic evidence connecting the Kwa Bi Nzaro operation to his teachings.
