Kenyan cult leader due in court amid probe

The leader of a Kenyan cult is expected back in court on Wednesday as police continue to investigate the deaths of more than 130 of his followers.

They want to continue to hold Paul Nthenge Mackenzie, who's accused of ordering followers to starve themselves to death to get to heaven more quickly.

Exhumation of mass graves in the Shakahola forest is continuing - a further 21 bodies were unearthed on Tuesday.

Hundreds more people are missing.
