JAKARTA - Kenyan police have dug 21 bodies near the coastal town of Malindi, as they investigate a sickle who is said to have ordered its followers to die from hunger.

The victims were children. And the police believe they will find more bodies.

The shallow burial was in the Shakahola forest, where 15 members of the International Good News Church were rescued last week, as reported by the BBC, Sunday, April 23.

Paul Machis Nthene was detained, pending trial. He is considered "the leader of the sect" and reportedly, so far 58 graves have been identified.

One of the graves is believed to contain the bodies of five members of the same family - three children and their parents.

Macgk has denied wrongdoing. But investigators don't believe it.

He allegedly told his followers to make themselves hungry to "meet Jesus".

Kenya's daily The Standard said pathologists would take DNA samples and perform tests to determine whether the victim died of hunger.

Police arrested Maccopy on April 15 after finding the bodies of four people suspected of dying from hunger.

Victor Kaudo of Malindi's Center for Social Justice explained, "when we are in this forest and come to an area where we see a large and tall cross, we know it means more than five people are buried there".

The rope allegedly mentions three villages of mine, Bethlehem and Rampat and baptized his followers in the pool before ordering them to fast, The Standard reported.
