Paul Nthenge Mackenzie faces terrorism charges over what has been dubbed the 'Shakahola Forest Massacre' after the grisly discovery last month of mass graves near the Indian Ocean town of Malindi.

NAIROBI - A Kenyan court on Wednesday ordered a doomsday cult leader accused over the deaths of dozens of people to be held behind bars for three more weeks.

A court in the port city of Mombasa ordered Mackenzie, his wife and 16 other suspects held for 30 days, dating from his first court appearance when he was arraigned on 2 May. Court documents filed on Monday said some of the corpses had their organs removed, with police alleging the suspects were engaged in forced harvesting of body parts."It is a theory we are investigating. The reports that came from the morgue are still being finalised and I do not want to pre-empt the matter," he told reporters on Tuesday.
