A Mombasa court has ruled that Shakahola cult leader Paul Mackenzie and 30 co-accused have a case to answer in the ongoing trial over 191 counts of murder linked to the Shakahola massacre, placing them on their defence.

• The court found a prima facie case against all 30 accused persons, noting that the issue is not whether deaths occurred, but whether the accused caused them.
• Key individuals involved include cult leader Paul Mackenzie and the 30 co-accused, with Justice Diana Kavedza delivering the ruling.
• The prosecution presented evidence from 121 witnesses, including expert testimony and postmortem reports, to establish common intention among the accused.
